On questions of recruitment and retention, part of the answer is often that we are increasing training places. The issue about increasing training places is that we will lose our graduates if the hospital system is not a magnet system that attracts people to come and work in it, because they will choose to go abroad rather than work in the dysfunctional system that we have. While we need to educate nurses, doctors and other therapists, we also need to create an environment that attracts them, as opposed to repels them.
