Dr. Colin Doherty:

Yes. This is where it becomes unclear to me. The official answer would be that exceptions were made by the clinical programmes to the employment ceiling. In a programme that had a defined model of care and sanction from the clinical programmes office, exemptions were made for employment ceilings. It is a failure on my part, I suppose, that I do not know why people who were interviewed and appointable have not been appointed. We must take collective responsibility for it.
