That is a nice round figure in any event. We discussed the moratorium with representatives of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation when they were here last week. I suppose there is a bit of a misnomer with that. People think the moratorium is a new thing that was imposed recently. Does Mr. Bell estimate that a full recovery was made from the moratorium that was imposed in 2007? Did the health service get back to full staffing levels before the new moratorium kicked in? I have no hesitation in saying, as I did at the time, that the impact of the 2007 moratorium is still being felt across the health service today. Does Mr. Bell share that view?
