In fairness, we are seeing this kind of mismatch all over the health service, with people throwing their hands in the air, saying that they cannot get staff and that something must be done about it. I am interested to know what exactly is being done about it. The witnesses said that staff shortages have been audited. Has that work been published? Is it possible to get a report that sets out where the main shortages are and what the needs will be in the context of workforce planning over the next five years, for example?
