I worked in recruitment agencies. One would conduct an exit interview because as a recruiter the contractor has now dropped out so revenue-wise one's boss says: "The revenue is not coming so what happened? Please do an appraisal." If we had statistics regarding agency workers it would give us some type of anecdotal evidence we could use. That would be helpful.

Returning to the panels, I work on the mental health side as well and sit on a mental health committee. What has been conveyed to us is the fact that there is not enough local recruitment. It is more regional and national. Does Mr. Donnelly find the same issue with regard to Tusla, that it does not have local flexibility in the recruitment drives? Are there disparities between the number of social workers required in one part of the country vis-à-visanother part?
