I refer to my questions about attitudes to junior doctors. Their contracts finish in June or December this year. Is there any indication of how many, particularly interns, do not intend to reapply for jobs in the HSE? Does the IMO have any indication whether the 200 doctors from India and Pakistan will be offered contracts once their two years are up? I presume they are represented by the IMO and that they are working here under supervision.
