\n(Breaden & Woods, 2010) indicated that there were 647.34
\nWhole Time Equivalents (WTEs) working in the Irish health
\nservices in 2008. However, psychology managers and many
\nother stakeholders recognise that this level of staffing is
\ninsufficient. The purpose of this paper is to examine the two
