The answer to the Deputy's first question is that two things are happening. The first is that the HSE is hiring on an operational and clinical basis to the high-priority areas. Second, there is a relatively new team within the Department of Health, namely, the workforce planning unit, which is seeking to determine where the gaps are. Believe it or not, there is not yet a model that tells us how many of each specialty we need. As we know what we have, such a model would identify the gap. There is significant work ongoing in the Department, again under the auspices of Sláintecare, on the area-based healthcare analysis to determine what we need in each specialty in each area, what we have and what is the gap or the number we will hire.

I ask the Deputy to remind me of his final question.
