Debbie Kelleher briefed the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health about a 30% shortage of Radiation Therapists, resulting in cancer treatment machine closures #SIPTU #Oireachtas #IIRRT xitter.cf/siptuhealth/status/184…
The HSE's Pay and Numbers Strategy has led to certain services being stretched.
@SIPTU members know this recruitment policy is having a detrimental impact on services; and will be campaigning to end it.

Still the same story in Radiation therapy. People leaving and nobody to replace them. We can have all the new technology and machines but if we have no new Radiation Therapists to work in the profession they will be standing idle.
