I have one more quick question. They are very high salaries, yet we cannot get people to take the jobs. For what are they looking? For what salaries are psychiatrists looking to come back to work here? The delegates referred to the high cost of living and so forth. That also applies to nurses, psychologists and so forth who have to live here too. I want to know what psychiatrists want to come back to work here, if a salary of €185,000 is not enough. If politicians earned that salary, we would be called out and made accountable for it. A Senator earns a mere one third of that salary. I would love to receive an answer to my last question, please.
