REBUILDING TRUST BETWEEN HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND HEALTH SERVICE MANAGEMENT CRITICAL TO REDUCING WAITING LISTS AND DELIVERING FOR PATIENTS – SAYS IHCA

The Irish Hospital Consultants Association (IHCA) has issued a stark reminder of the damaging results of years of underinvestment and a lack of capacity in the health system.

IHCA President, Professor Alan Irvine: “Unless we change health service management culture, do the hard work of re-establishing trust, and improve working relationships, it is difficult to see how the Department can ever deliver an effective and empathetic public health service for the Irish people.”
