@mccarthymt7 “If the HSE wants to improve efficiency in the healthcare system, they should hire a team of engineers with medical experience to examine the processes in place in service delivery, and give them the authority to effect changes in service provision that would maximise patient flow. Otherwise, more nurses, more HSCPs, more doctors, and more space to work in would help, and is needed across the board. The imbalance between capacity and demand at the point of provision of care seems glaring to me.”
The very obvious shortages of hospital beds, theatres, diagnostic, and other facilities across the country need to be addressed, together with filling the hundreds of consultant posts that are vacant or filled on a temporary basis.
