Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
To be honest, in the case involving a consultant psychiatrist I do not know what sub-specialty in psychiatry was involved. This continues to be one of our most challenging areas in which to maintain services, keep consultants in post and get good quality consultants. I could not guarantee that there are not other registrars who are acting as consultants and getting the appropriate acting allowance, which is very significant. Obviously, it brings them to the consultant salary scale, which is the role they are actually performing.
