I am talking about the Department's overall policy outside the children's hospital. A number of people have contacted me in Cork in the past six months because they are running into serious problems with accommodation. This is especially so if they are on contracts where they are rotating. They might have a five-year contract or be senior registrars. If they have a five-year contract, they are doing a year in Cork, two or three years in Dublin and a year in Galway, and they are running into this kind of problem as well. Will the Department look at this policy issue as well?
