Mr. John Connaghan:
I do not have any information at this stage on what the exit interviews might be. I can speculate that people might leave based on a range of issues. It could be pay, conditions or advancement elsewhere.
Let us consider the three psychiatrist positions in Wexford and Waterford. One was a locum who is going to another job somewhere else – I do not know where that job is. One is leaving to pursue additional studies as part of a pre-determined study plan. One is leaving to move elsewhere in the healthcare system. I am told one of the major reasons one of the consultants is leaving relates to the premises, the conditions of buildings and various other things. The latest information I have on that is that we are pursuing arrangements to move the service into new premises. This should happen soon – by soon, I mean this autumn.
