The health service has to live within its budget and there cannot be a “runaway train” where individual health managers are deciding on the numbers to employ, Minister for Health Simon Harris has said.
Mr Harris said if the Minister for Education had funding to take on 500 teachers and the Department of Education subsequently had gone off and recruited 1,000 new teachers, people would rightly be asking why was the budget was overrun.“Where hospital groups have not submitted plans that are in line with budget, they are then told they cannot recruit more until they put in those realistic plans.”
“When they fail to do that, we see very significant overruns in our health service. And those overruns cannot be tolerated.” He added: “I hope positive changes in pay, conditions and professional development will encourage those who work here to stay and will help attract back those nurses that left the system in recent years.”
