Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Lesley Tilson:

We were granted additional funding through the Mazars process. We got approval to recruit more staff in the summer of 2024. We had 20.5 whole-time equivalents until that time and we have been recruiting over the last 12 months. We now have 36.5 whole-time equivalents. It is a major change for us.
