Mr. Tony O'Brien:

The answer to that is "Yes", localised recruitment is agreed and is happening. As I have said before, if this situation continues absolutely nothing will be ruled out. When the things we have done in the last week and a half come to fruition they will make a further significant inroad into the numbers of persons on trolleys, which we intend to sustain. If we experience adverse events, however, be it a spike in 'flu or whatever, we will then respond accordingly. There is absolutely nothing ruled out in terms of that response.
