I thank all our witnesses. It has been an extremely difficult two years for everybody. Hopefully, an end to the pandemic is in sight. It has probably been the most challenging two years for every medical professional. Anybody working in this field came across people in quite stressful situations. It was, and continues to be, the medical profession's greatest hour. We owe the profession our ongoing gratitude.

Deputy Shortall touched on a number of my questions. It is obvious that we need more GPs. What effect has the emigration of qualified graduates, particularly in the past ten years, had in terms of GPs who could have worked in the health system but went abroad for a variety of reasons?
