I want to get some clarification with regard to staffing because the responses received by the committee from the Department suggest that there are a number of positions which are unfilled. It says there are 45 vacancies at residential and social care worker grade and two vacancies at unit management grade. The witness said, I believe, that the maximum agency staff was seven. Are there significant staff shortages in Oberstown?
