Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

We are relying on the goodwill of other countries to provide us with a medical service, as happened in Liberia. Is the Minister aware that three doctors have resigned from the Army medical corps over the past year, one of whom was the director of the medical corps? It is time for positive action to attract people into the Army medical corps. I acknowledge that the Minister accepts there is a problem. Apart from increasing salaries, is it possible to provide other incentives for people to join the Army medical corps?
