Commitment

Employ 400 extra hospital consultants

What this means

  • Aontú is a political party that put forward this commitment as part of its 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
  • The party promised to hire 400 extra hospital consultants in 2025 to increase the capacity of acute hospital care in Ireland.[source][source]
  • This commitment was first stated on 21 November 2024 and remains at the promised stage, meaning it has not yet been acted on.[source]
  • No delivery deadline beyond the year 2025 was set, and no specific officeholder was named as responsible for carrying it out.[source]
  • Tracking whether this promise is kept matters for public accountability, as consultant numbers directly affect waiting times and patient care.[source]
