I thank Mr. McBrien for that. I agree with Dr. Kelly's issue regarding pay tenure, career progression, workload in the profession and other workers in addiction services and some of the remuneration and perks. It is not necessarily the case for nursing but some of the people working in that sector have not had a pay rise for a number of years, ten or 11 years in some cases. As I said, I am a director of a drug task force and those cuts made in 2008 and 2009 have never been fully restored. People have been working really hard with no progression.

What does Dr. Kelly suggest should be done? Will he expand on what he said about pay, tenure and progression?
