I raise the point because when one examines the size of the allowance as a percentage of salary for consultants, it is quite significant. Second, there are those differentials in terms of rates of pay and, more specifically, to the public health system. If one is paying an allowance like that for such a pivotal position as clinical director, from a policy point of view it would make sense that preference would be clearly given to those who carry out their work in the public system alone, for the very reason offered by Mr. O’Brien that the clinical directors would be core in the delivery of service and reconfiguration of hospitals. I would like to know category by category who is in receipt of what.
