There are 24 doctors at the moment. There should be 30. We are recruiting. As the Deputy knows, recruiting doctors is a challenge. We have changed the method of recruiting doctors and it has worked successfully for us. If the Deputy knows of individual cases where people have had to retire on health grounds and were not looked after, perhaps he could give me the details.
