I think it is critical as well. If Ms Magahy's view is to implement Government policy that is fine but I think there is an inherent contradiction in what the Government is saying. There is no purpose in us going down that road any further. Ms Magahy referred to a multi-annual commitment to recruiting staff into the community. I know it is the 1,000 therapy posts. Kids in my constituency wait 33 months to see a therapist. That list is only getting longer and the parents are only getting more desperate. We know that. In terms of physical bodies, what does that mean? It seems to me that we have heard the 1,000 posts announced and reannounced in a number of different formats. Where are they going to be? When are they going to be recruited? Are they in college now? What grades are they? When are they going to start?
