That is an excellent question, and I do not have the answer. However, I will get the answer and provide it to the committee.

I do not want anybody to leave. I really want to advocate for recruitment into the network disability teams. It is not a matter of losing staff. We had lost staff and it is important to acknowledge that staff were repurposed due to Covid, to swabbing and contact tracing. They are all back. The sections 38 and 39 staff are also all back. There was a period when I did not have my full complement but they are back now.
