Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh, agus comhghairdeas.
I want to follow up on the issue of one individual who earned over €1 million, with €700,000 of that being an addition in their salary, and the instance whereby a significant portion of that was for a single shift where the person was paid at a rate of six hours per patient for each of four patients who were actually treated within an hour. Mr. Gloster described that as "abhorrent". I do not think anybody would argue with that. Ms McGirr outlined how the new contracts would not allow for that scenario to arise. Are there consultants or other staff on old contracts for whom such a scenario would be possible today?
