The HSE has launched a major recruitment drive to hire hospital consultants to work in Ireland.
The new campaign will begin in the UK and Australia this week, before then moving on to the rest of Europe, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. The HSE is hoping to recruit around 400 consultants to work in Ireland, including medics who practice abroad.
Speaking to RTE's Morning Ireland, HSE Chief Executive Bernard Gloster said that there will be a "time lag" between the recruitment of consultants abroad and when they take up their post in Ireland.
