Mr. Paul Reid:

The increase of total payroll spend on agency staff was marginal last year. It went from 5.8% to 6.1%. Our intention is to build a sustainable workforce and we have funding from the Government to do that and to continue it into next year. Our primary focus is a sustainable in-house workforce. However, there are requirements and needs for agency staff to supplement our requirements, particularly, looking at this year, in parts of the testing and tracing programme, which we know will last for a period of time, and the vaccination programme in some cases too. Agency staff will be a feature but our primary focus is to recruit in-house.
