Mr. Liam Woods:

In answer to the Deputy's previous question, we also fund translation services to assist in access for people who may not have English as a first language. As she rightly identified, we have funding for 40 posts. Within the acute division, in the hospital sector, we are increasing our nurse numbers. As we flagged in our statement, sonographers are a difficult grade to get and we may have to train current staff in sonography. If we need to do that, we will do so. Our experience is that when we have the resource we can put the posts in place. In this instance we have the resource. Therefore all our efforts will go into recruiting and retaining those staff.
