I have made this point previously. It is bizarre that we are spending large sums of money training our own graduates, some of whom make the best doctors in the world. We know that because when they go abroad they excel. We educate and train them to go abroad to work and we go to Third World countries and recruit their doctors. That does not make any sense. The issue around a clear career path is critical, and we are exploring how to progress that and make it happen. I do not want to leave this office without having resolved that issue.
