I want a list of who the highest earners were from the NTPF right down to the bottom. I know it can tell me which hospitals got the most but I want every hospital to tell me who got the money, for what procedures and how much. That is the governance issue for the NTPF as well. It should look for that back off the hospitals and ask them, since it gave them, say, €20 million or €100 million, where did that go?
I apologise if I have gone slightly over time but this is very important. Ms Nugent referred to overtime and said it goes out in payroll as overtime. If I am a consultant working in a hospital and I decide that I will take on ten surgeries on a Saturday, is that coming into my normal pay packet as overtime?
