Many of the questions I intended to put have been asked but the issue that is obviously occupying people's minds in this regard is that on one level there is phenomenal largesse in terms of the payment of elites while on another level there is an attitude that student nurses should not get paid or individuals who are working at the coalface just have to carry on regardless and suffer because of the economic situation. There is a massive economic crisis yet we have this largesse in terms of the payment of salaries. There is also the whole idea that, of all the Departments in all the world, a successful candidate could only be found in the Department in which the decision was made. The circle of decision-making and benefit is so small in the context of this issue.

What is the salary ratio in the Department of Health? What is the ratio between the highest salary and the lowest salaries in the Department of Health?
