If one chooses to look back I have consistently raised this issue over the past four to five years. If one goes back 15 years ago, there was a different process for recruitment and there was forward planning and then that system was absorbed into the HSE. Now the whole system that existed seems to have disappeared. We are trying to recreate that system and I fully accept that movement is in the right direction. What I would like to know is why that system was abolished at the time and absorbed into the HSE and the process that was already in place ignored. This does not make sense.
