This is anecdotal evidence, obviously, and while I am not disputing what Dr. O'Mahoney is saying, I am asking all stakeholders if there are any studies or statistics on this? We heard from the CHO area 1 that the problem is in recruiting consultant psychiatrists and in CHO area 3 the problem is trying to recruit nurses. There differences between the CHOs show that it is not just an international factor but also local. Are there any studies on this? It may not be Dr. O'Mahoney's remit and may be a step higher. From a HR point of view, are there any studies on this or does Dr. O'Mahoney know of any?
