We have had the consultants' representatives before the committee. I do not wish to make generalisations because consultants have many different opinions, to which they are entitled, but there will be some opposition to going down the proposed route. Dealing with the pay issue will help considerably. There is significant support for dealing with that issue, recruitment and retention and so on. What other significant opposition will there be from consultants in respect of the implementation of this report? At what points or junctures does Dr. de Buitléir see this opposition?
