I asked a question about advanced nurse practitioners, ANPs. I wish to be very clear because we are short of time and possibly patience at this stage, although not in my case. There are 78 advanced nurse practitioners, but there should be 150. This time next year, if we are all lucky enough to be back, how many more ANPs will there be, taking into account the fact that some of them must be coming up to retirement age? I am thinking of one in particular whom I know and who, if she has not gone already, is probably due to leave fairly soon. How close to the 150 target will we be?
