I thank Mr. Reid and I accept this but in any industry we look at peers and if we look at countries such as Austria, France and Germany and state we should not yet be doing what they are, then something is wrong.

I know of two doctors who returned to Ireland and signed up for work as part of Be On Call for Ireland but they will not get an extension to their work contracts. The contracts are due to finish and both will be without work. Has the HSE looked at these people with regard to what we will do for those who very kindly came back to try to lend a hand to a national effort but now are being left high and dry?
