Mr. Tony O'Brien:
Certainly, the in-year cost can be higher but the long-term cost may not be because of the impact of long-term pensions and so on. Our preference is that agencies should only be used at the margins. There will always be some requirement for agencies and, indeed, all of our hospitals have a conversion target in-year, which Mr. Mulvany will speak to in greater detail.
