Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

Again, I opened our presentation today by reading from the memo that has been issued by the Health Service Executive and I will read it again. It states that the mandated interim controls provide that no new posts, other than those approved and funded developments via the existing national control process, or replacement posts can proceed to offer stage or be put onto the payroll in any community health care organisation, hospital group or section 38. That is a pause. In fact, it is a moratorium - that is exactly what it is.
