Sixty New Consultant Posts Announced By HSE
The Health Service Executive has announced 60 new consultant posts for 24 hospitals that have high-performing Accident and Emergency departments.
The move is part of the HSE's 100 Plus reward scheme, under which the HSE pledged to appoint 100 new consultants to hospitals whose A&E departments met their targets.
It is expected that the appointments of the remaining 40 consultants will be made by the end of October.
The appointments will cover a range of specialty areas, including emergency medicine, radiology, general medicine and surgery and geriatrics.
The hospitals receiving the consultants include Dublin's St James and St Vincents hospitals, which will receive six consultants each; Waterford Regional Hospital, which will receive five posts; and University College Hospital Galway, which will get four consultants.
However, the appointments are not likely to be made until talks on a new contract for consultants are completed, which are expected to take some time.
