Why do HSE hospitals deliberately hire the bare minimum number of NCHDs?
I worked in SVUH and SJH and my teams were always sufficiently staffed.
I’m now in the South East and the staffing is just atrocious. The regs look completely worn out as they’re being stretched in ten different directions and can’t support SHOs sufficiently.
Now there’s going to be another hiring freeze, and overtime payments are being cited as one of the reasons for it. How ridiculously short sighted is that?
This country has too much money and too little vision. Literally all you have to do is copy what they do in Oz where we are haemorrhaging our staff to.
