National Task Force on Medical Staffing: Statements.

 

I know the contents of the Hanly report well. The group, as the Minister pointed out, was made up of hard-working people who came together for 300 meetings. I did not attend 300 meetings. Membership of the board comprised medics, nursing staff and other health related professions together with medical unions, employers agencies and others. It is a product of a very detailed process. Senator Feighan referred to the costs of compiling such reports. I, and every man and woman on the task force, gave of our time at no cost. If costs were involved they were minimal. Those involved were committed people seeking to better our health service.
