€250k salary 'won’t entice people to system that is falling apart,' says consultants body

The proposed salary of €250,000 for consultants working in public hospitals “won’t entice people home to a system that is falling apart,” the vice president of the Irish Hospital Consultants Association has said.

Dr Laura Durcan told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that while the increase was welcome, “the real question will be will we get bums on seats for those posts?”
