Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-18
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

The light I have to cast on this is that we have 6,000 fewer beds than we had in the 1980s but we have had countless numbers of extra recruitment campaigns. The Minister announces all the jobs and recruitment campaigns every day. Where are they? They are not on the front line. They are not nurses or doctors.
