Anne Marie Hoey, HSE National Director for Human Resources said: “We want to thank all who have been in contact to assist our health services in answering the call in such numbers through the 'Be on Call for Ireland' initiative. “The HSE are now analysing all the information from the registrations, and we ask for your continued patience. “Within the large volume of registrations there are a large number of healthcare professionals currently working part time in the health services either private or public. “We would ask you to discuss with your manager how you can increase your hours to improve capacity across the health services as all of our services will be needed in the weeks to come.
