It is off.

There is another issue I want to identify. In the last week, it has come to my knowledge that staff who were working with the ambulance service have not been redeployed or retrained in the roles they previously had. Some of them are now sitting in offices without any responsibility of any description. I wonder if, in preparing this report, Mr. Quinn was aware of that. The issue identified in the report is very worrying. It is not a case of another report sitting on a shelf because action needs to be taken on this matter. I thank Mr. Quinn for the report, but this issue needs to be clarified.
