It seems to me the answer is staff upskilling, more consultants and a co-ordinated educational process of upskilling, letting people out so that others can come in. That is what is needed. Aside from all the other aspects of the work, these are major problems. When I talk to people, they are students of nursing and are in the schools of nursing, but the next thing they are gone to England on the boat. We are not holding on to our young nurses. We are not keeping them and upskilling them. Am I right about this? Is this not a major problem?
