David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

Is the Minister considering any other strategy to attract doctors to enlist in the Permanent Defence Forces? Are there any particular reasons there is such disinterest? Is it the way there is a lack of doctors out there who are interested and trained?

Would the Minister undertake to inquire whether there are delays in medical board dealings with personnel? I understand that there may be some difficulties in that area.
