I am trying to put my final question delicately because I do not want anyone to panic. Is the IHCA aware of an elevated level of mental ill health among consultants due to the shortages? I am not aware of any specific effort being made by the Government to provide for pay parity. Without putting words in anyone's mouth, I do not think the delegates are aware of any such initiative either. Nothing in the outcome of the budgetary negotiations, as announced yesterday in the Minister's Budget Statement, suggests pay parity is on the agenda. For the avoidance of doubt, are there meetings scheduled between the IHCA and the Minister for Health?
