Dr. Geraldine Smith:

St. Vincent's clarified the amounts paid under the consolidated pay scales but also stated very clearly that three senior managers were in receipt of additional salaries not paid from public funds. When we queried the specifics of that, such as the amounts and to whom they were paid, St. Vincent's said because they were not paid from public funds it was not appropriate to disclose that detail. St. Vincent's has answered the questions on public funds.
