Ireland’s health infrastructure is impacting the ability of healthcare workers to provide safe care.
Every day, people across the country are witnessing the impact of this first hand.
Understaffing in the health service is impacting the ability of staff to provide safe care. It’s putting patients at risk and it’s damaging our efforts to retain existing staff.
The HSE’s de-facto recruitment ban shows that patient safety is simply not a concern for this Government.
Healthcare workers are having to do more with less and patient care is not guaranteed.
Patients deserve better, our healthcare workers deserve better.
That’s why next Wednesday in the Dáil we will call on the Government to lift the new HSE recruitment embargo.
