    Funnily enough I'm sitting in the Mater just now. 2 receptionists at radiology just having a chat. Brought down to X-ray and there's another 2 receptionists having the craic.

    It's a hard life they have...

    Could be interns, jobsbridge, transition year students. Isn't there less than 20% of penpushers employed in the hospitals. In our place there are new people starting almost on a weekly basis.

    Indeed not. Perhaps if the HSE wasn't overstaffed with chair moisteners then there might be a few bob left over to hire more radiologists and nurses without coming cap in hand to the tax payer.
    Hahaha. You don't know much about HSE pay structures if you think you could swap a receptionist for a consultant radiologist...

    I don't work in the area but I don't think for one minute those working at ground level in the HSE are overpaid. I think each of them, down to the cleaners, secretaries etc work very hard. I happen to think consultants are extremely well paid, but then, they do study for a long long time and make many sacrifices both whilst studying and at work. Even GPs who might be perceived as having it 'easy' are often on call out of hours etc. I think if we want to have a good health system, we need to pay. The trouble is, the resources are already pushed to the max and staff cannot cope with the demands that are being made of them so it probably looks like they are not working 100% or whatever. 99% of the staff work to their full (from my experience) and it shouldn't turn into a witch hunt and create pressure on them in search of the remaining 1%.

    You're right. Let's hire 3 unnecessary receptionists instead. Sure they're cheap.
