We might come back to that issue. Last year there was a focus on reversing the financial emergency measures in the public interest, FEMPI, cuts for GPs, for which provision was made in the budget. Talks had to happen, but provision was made, which meant that the Minister, the Government, the Department and the HSE had space in which to begin to reverse the FEMPI cuts. Will such provision be made in the budget to allow for the reversal of the new entrant pay disparity for consultants if the talks succeed as I hope they will?
