My last question is in regard to the interns or trainee doctors. I understand 300 will be let go. Senator Kyne touched on that at the beginning. Many people probably do not understand how interns in the Irish public health service who are badly needed are in essence now being let go. It does not make sense, particularly as we need as many doctors now as possible in the pandemic. Could somebody comment on the situation around the interns?
