Mr. Robert Watt:

I will say something and then Mr. Reid and his team can come in. The numbers the Deputy gave show a significant increase in the numbers employed across different areas of the healthcare system. There was an almost 30% increase in the last number of years, as he said. In the last two years, the number went from 120,000 to 132,000, and there are plans for further increases again this year, of between 5,500 and 10,000. As Mr. Reid mentioned, there are recruitment challenges. There are two aspects of this from our perspective. Mr. Reid and his team can address some of the details. First, we need to become more effective at recruiting internationally. We have made changes regarding the registration of nurses, to double the number of registered nurses coming from overseas this year. Second, we need to provide more training opportunities for our young people and for people within the health system to progress. This is a societal issue. As demographic effects kick in, healthcare will become a bigger concern. We will need to train more of our people to work in the sector and we will need to be attractive to people coming in from overseas. There is a workforce plan for this year. That will evolve into a multi-annual plan to try to address these issues. The Deputy is aware of the areas that we are addressing. Mr. Reid mentioned some of them. We are pushing ahead in all of them. There are more acute problems with recruitment in some areas than others but everybody is focused on trying to do as much as we can to get people in.
