Succinct summary of the frustrations felt as we strive to correct the deficiencies in our services. Waiting 3 years for an appointment is simply not acceptable.

Dr Gabrielle Colleran, IHCA Vice Pres: "We shouldn't have to call you out on something as basic as not having enough people to safely staff our teams." @LeoVaradkar @SimonHarrisTD @FineGael "It's time for you to actually do something."

👇Listen in. Retweet. #CareCantWait

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

Safety begins with safe staffing levels. We can't recruit without parity. Please set the date for talks @SimonHarrisTD

On #WorldPatientSafetyDay I am listening to a presentation on staff attitudes to safety. All of us on the frontline know that we need adequate numbers of appropriately skilled staff to keep patients safe! What about that meeting @SimonHarrisTD #carecantwait?

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

Pay parity is the first step to recruiting and retaining much needed skilled consultants. The waiting list keeps growing. Where does it end?

We have seen the ever increasing waiting list numbers as a direct result of kicking this down the road. Step up and stop the continued deterioration in people's health. The numbers don't lie.

“There are patients up and down the country who have learned to think that it’s ok to sit for years on a waiting list” - Laura Durcan, Consultant Rheumatologist, discusses the impact of long #WaitingTimes on patients.

At the end of July, 564,829 patients were waiting for a first hospital outpatient consultation https://t.co/q8bIsOV6tI

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

As the first phase of the new CHI hospital opens, we see the impact of consultant shortages.

Murray report in full. Explains in detail the issues with recruitment and staffing of consultants in Irish hospitals. Worth a read. Thanks @susmitchellSBP

The Minister for Health doesn’t seem inclined to published this damning Murray report on medical recruitment, so we we’ve done it for him. Here’s a link https://t.co/rrCrLpYS5K No paywall #recruitmentcrisis #carecantwait #fightforfairness

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

More spin. Still no engagement. Waiting lists still growing. Consultant posts still vacant...

Myself,@Rheum2improve & @Antcon7062 have been calling this out for quite sometime

As have @DonnellyStephen & @loreillysf

Grateful to @RoisinShortall for speaking on the patient impact of unfilled posts & impact on doctors demoralized by the impact on patients of lack of access

@muirishouston @Rheum2improve @IHCA_IE @fishandhips75 @otuathail @ProfPayEquality @PickleQueen77 @MijkBoyle Here is the key data. (Caveat-Correlation does not imply causation). 2% lower mortality at 30 days; 11% lower failure to rescue (i.e. cardiac arrest) in hospitals with higher consultant numbers. @SimonHarrisTD @Paschald @loreillysf @DonnellyStephen @LeoVaradkar @paulreiddublin

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

Dreadful but not surprising. Our children deserve better.

The HSE is in crisis, @SimonHarrisTD is in denial. No staff for satellite cente, it will be the same at NCH. “it was announced that the satellite centre for the National Children’s Hospital would not be able to open as originally planned due to a consultant shortage” #fgshame

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

Read @susanmitchellsbp article on the consultant crisis. Chilling.

[Susan Mitchell @SusanMitchell_]

Consultant recruitment is “in crisis”. We are hiring non specialist doctors to fill gaps. This unpublished (until today) report is a savage indictment of the government’s record in health. It tells the truth. #fightforfairness #carecantwait

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

Sad situation. Pathology is so vital to the care of all patients but particularly to cancer services and operating departments. It's time to speak up. Unacceptable.

Today marks 1year since the post of consultant paediatric pathologist in Temple St became vacant. Despite best efforts the hospital can’t fill it. All work transferred to Crumlin where 2 consultants do the work of 4. Why? @SimonHarrisTD @Paschald @MaryLouMcDonald #Carecantwait

556,000 awaiting outpatient specialists appointments... For specialists that don't exist. 500 vacancies. Where does it end?

[Yvonne Doyle @ymdoyle]

Great explanations about why we need to sort out the consultant crisis. We like to think it will never affect us. But we can't ignore the suffering of so many any longer #carecantwait

#CareCantWait

Thanks to @RTE_PrimeTime for giving patients & timely access a voice tonight.

Timely access is right not a privilege.

Time to fix this.

@IHCA_IE

[Gabrielle Ní Challaráin @GColleranMD]

Let’s be clear

We don’t need to spend more on consultants

We need to stop wasting money on exorbitant locums

57m increase in medical locum bill since 2012

@FineGael start spending smart not spending more
