Text
I thank the Member. Following on from the discussion that we had when he raised the question for urgent oral answer, the 30% to 35% divergence is from where they would have been in 2008 had inflationary pay increases been enabled year-on-year. The Member will be aware that that was a national decision based on national funding. It should not be left solely to the Department of Health to sort out an issue that resulted from decisions on financing taken nationally at that time.
