I thank the Minister for that. I will move to the question of expanding services and dealing with issues over recruitment and retention, which are pressing issues in all kinds of disciplines right across the health service. Is there work going on at Department or HSE level to do essential forward planning to ensure our colleges have enough places to train the people who will be needed over the coming years? We need to address the kinds of issues that lead to people leaving this country, rather than staying here and working in the Irish health service. Where is there work being done on that?
