My apologies. Has a review been carried out in respect of those appointments? The HIQA report on the ambulance service clearly identified that a number of staff appointed did not feel they had the skills to do the job. I do not accept the reply here that 1,527 people were appointed without interview, and that none of them has been identified as not having the skills. I ask that we get a detailed report about what training processes were put in place for those people. We also have 184 people who went up not one, but two grades or more, in that period without interview. We need a detailed response on this matter.
