I agree with that based on the disparity within the charitable sector; one has to separate that out. However, as far as the other issue is concerned - and this is addressed to all the delegates - by limiting pay, notwithstanding the business case exceptions, the question must be asked as to whether we are damaging or weakening the sector by kowtowing to political considerations. The HSE needs to take that on board. Within the sector and within the HSE itself, there are individuals who hold the view that this policy does not make sense for some individuals and organisations.
