The latest data I have shows that four of the seven permanent radiation oncology are vacant or temporarily filled. Mr. Reid might confirm that. Also, one medical oncology post remains vacant. We have 25,000 people waiting for an outpatient appointment for oncology in CUH. Can we give any reassurance to those 25,000 people that the posts can be filled in the very near future? Can we start to make a real dent in that particular waiting list of 25,000 people waiting for outpatient appointments for oncology?
