Thank you. I apologise to the Chair if I am covering ground that has already been covered. Given it is obvious a workforce plan is needed, given we are looking at one-year, five-year and ten-year thinking and investment in training, in graduate courses and in recruitment and retention, and given there is a commitment in place for that, and it is plain as day that we need it, what is the INMO's view as to why these commitments have not been honoured by Government? It is something the Government committed to and something we obviously need. What is the INMO's sense as to why the Government has reneged on these promises?
