Ms Anne Coyle:

Mr. Sweeney is better placed to answer that question in his role from a HR point of view. There are different types of consultant contracts. The most recent consultant contract is the public-only consultant contract in 2023. All new consultants who join the HSE and Beaumont Hospital will join us on the public-only contract. Currently in Beaumont Hospital, there is an 81% uptake among our consultants of the public-only contract. Some people have other contract types, and they can choose to either opt in or to retain their existing contract. A number of our consultants have chosen to do so.
