It should be easy, because it is at nil at the moment. It should be easy to improve on that. It is nil. I want to recognise the Minister's secretary, to whom I was obliged to go in order to obtain some information. I eventually got the information in question. I understand that this is an issue across the entire country. Nurses are returning home. There are services seeking nurses but the latter cannot get the appropriate certification and registration as efficiently as one would expect in the circumstances in which there is almost a crisis in that area. It is an appalling service.
