That is exactly right. I have seen data and the committee in the previous Dáil saw data on various cohorts and why they might be leaving the profession or the country. Certainly some of what the Deputy has proposed is being done but at a HSE-wide level. It is an excellent idea. In fact, we could perhaps go further. Something we want to keep an eye to is that as many of our graduates as possible stay in the country and work in the public health system. A systematic survey, essentially exit interviews, is what the Deputy is speaking about. To understand the same for our graduates would also be very useful.
