In regard to workforce planning, we are getting bubbles of people, an injection of funding goes into an area and it then bubbles up. However, I will not go into workforce planning. When talking about trolleys, it was said that the patients are not counted and, therefore, staff are not assigned. I want to make sure I heard that correctly because that would mean staff numbers do not take account of the fact there are going to be so many people on trolleys in different hospitals. Is my understanding correct?
