As we move to the figure of 3,700 staff, it is good to see that capacity is projected to increase. I am interested in hearing the answers to two questions. What is the projected increase in the number of clinical staff? I presume - Ms Hardiman might clarify the position - there will be a commensurate reduction in the number of administrative and management staff as we move from having three children's hospitals to one. How is all of this playing out in the move to a figure of 3,700 staff?

Turning to Mr. Barry, the last time we met he had just been appointed. In his opening statement he mentioned that two other members of the board had resigned. Is he in a position to share with us their names?
