Consultant staffing levels in radiodiagnosis and clinical oncology/radiotherapy, Republic of Ireland, 1993: a review.

Comhairle na nOspideal in August 1978 published its consultant manpower projection up to 1981.The following extract relates to diagnostic radiology: "The Comhairle considers (that) an establishment of 99 consultant diagnostic radiologists by 1981 is necessary". The 6th Report of Comhairle na nOspideal 2 published in 1992 showed that the number of consultant radiologists in post at that time was 97. In other words, the target set for 1981 by Comhairle had not been achieved by 1992.
