We first reported on the findings 3 weeks ago. Reports shouldn’t be buried by administrators/elected officials. We have all funded these reports and all of us are entitled to see what’s in them.

A few things that are “not on” 500,000 people sitting on waiting lists for access to care Taking NO ACTION to address the 20% empty posts & lowest Consultant numbers in EU The Taoiseach promised a process to start immediately last October!! Still nothing. #carecantwait

Leo Varadkar Pat Kenny Newstalk Frontline consultants want to help to solve this issue, but need political leadership to step up

Taoiseach admits new €25M Children’s Urgent Care Centre in Connolly Hospital can’t open 8am to midnight 7 days a week, as planned, due to failure to recruit enough consultants, because of pay cut imposed by FG Health Ministers x3 since 2012. Leo Varadkar #CARECANTWAIT

"I remember saying to one of my radiologist friends who was heading into work a few weeks ago, I said to him: 'Try to not make any mistakes because if you do it will end up in court and somehow I'll get the blame'. Leo Varadkar Let’s explore this with an open mind & curiosity

I am horrified by the glib disrespect shown to doctors by Leo Varadkar. We deserve an apology. @ProfPayEquality IHCA @PickleQueen77 Irish Medical Organisation Royal College of Physicians of Ireland Paul Reid RCSI

Today is the start of new model of care Let’s be real We struggled to staff this first tiny part of project (27m of 1700m) Fine Gael fix recruitment with us or your policy will undermine catastrophically our new hospital which is so badly needed by the nations kids @edbrophy

“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. #CARECANTWAIT Laura Durcan

Consultants to call for Health Minister to set a date for recruitment and retention talks ift.tt/2H15lmZ

Admirable leadership from Dr Michael Harty TD Peoples lived experiences matter & people in the Midwest pay the same taxes for unequal access to care Timely access to quality care is a right not a privilege @drgerryburke Colette Cowan IHCA Laura Durcan

Can’t wait for the IHCA to knuckle down with Simon Harris TD on Monday to sign the pay restoration agreement! I suspect Simon has been working on this all month seeing as he promised talks in September. At least it’s coming on Monday, right Minister? #carecantwait

How many more people must be added to this list for you to meet and discuss the consultant crisis our country is facing Simon Harris TD? #CARECANTWAIT

Dr Laura Durcan outlines the consultant recruitment and retention crisis on Drivetime RTE: "We have the lowest number of consultants per head of population anywhere in Europe." #CareCantWait Laura Durcan Simon Harris TD Paschal Donohoe Fine Gael

Before anyone falls for the faux optics of Simon Harris TD ‘tackling’ the consultant recruitment crisis - he has chosen to have talks with the IMO (representing 5% of consultants) and not the IHCA (representing 95%) #smokeandmirrors #carecantwait

Alison O'Connor I am astonished at a time where consultants have put their lives on the line in the public hospitals that you decide to vilify us. I work in the hospital with the most COVID. You are at home. Safe. I have had my ass handed to me for highlighting PPE concerns.
