Staff resourcing was a problem in the private and public sectors and possibly still is. I am aware of a number of nurses with foreign citizenship who are trying to get work here, and there are nursing homes that wish to recruit them, but they cannot get movement through the Department. Is there a crossover with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on trying to fast-track some of these visa applications so we can get these people into position?
