Mr. Liam Woods:

I will make a brief observation on that, which may be helpful. Specific research was done on doctors through our human resources unit with the support of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. The research looked at doctors in Ireland and Irish doctors who have gone overseas. It looked at the drivers that caused them to leave, their views when they were away and what they thought about coming back. Another question was whether they thought about coming back before going away and whether that changed while they were away. There is good analysis. I suggest we made a copy available to the committee.
