Questions (1058)

Richard Bruton

Question:

1058. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Health if his Department has set a policy that overseas doctors can only obtain a six month contract; and if this practice makes it more difficult to attract such staff and disrupts the sort of continuity which manpower and care planning requires.

Written answers

Minister for Health

In relation to the particular query raised, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
