Yes. It is 4,000 staff over the ten-year period to deliver Sláintecare's working in the community. Obviously, the Deputy will be aware that not every one of those staff may necessarily be working in a primary care centre. It is an additional 4,000 staff. I take the Deputy's point that we have to be recruiting and training enough people and this will be part of the workforce plan also.
