I have not seen that. It is a fair point that the HSE should brief the committee on this. I have not seen the specific advertisements the Deputy is referring to but I would imagine that quite a significant number of the staff in question are replacement staff. There is a myth about management numbers in Ireland because those in the HSE and NHS are pretty much aligned. In the NHS, 4.8% of staff are classified as management. In our health service, the figure is 4.9%. However, I take the point the Deputy is making.
