Mr. Peter Brazel:

Perhaps I could add to the point. Reference was made to the complexity of the review within the health service. When the review was undertaken there was quite a bit of consideration between the Departments as to how best to approach the review, to meet the deadlines and the priority to be identified in order to meet the requirements of the review being undertaken. There was a fair exchange between us. As my colleagues have pointed out, many of the rates were what we would call standard on-call rates. We were trying to identify the allowances that were in play in the health service, but they were not well defined. That is where the priority rested. The HSE gave an undertaking to provide details on the amount of on-call payments, if possible by grade and staff. That will add to the body of information available.
