Working hours of hospital doctors

Sir, – Given that it is now highly likely that Ireland will face a significant fine over the continued failure to address Irish doctors’ working hours, let me suggest a quick-fix solution. We could offset this fine with a large wager that the only action the Government will take is another costly report, inquiry or working group. – Yours, etc,
