PQ 1553
1553. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Health if he will take immediate action to reverse the decision to cut 300 intern doctor posts at a time when the greatest ever need exists for increased resources both during and post-Covid-19 and the pressure to clear unprecedented waiting lists; his views on whether this proposed reduction will leave 300 newly qualified doctors who have been educated to a world class standard with little option but to export their knowledge and skills at a time when they are urgently needed at home; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
