That is a very important point. There is no doubt that graduates want to work in the Irish health system, but because of circumstances regarding the proximity to the workplace, rent and so forth, it is not viable. If it was made viable for graduates, they would work in the Irish public health system. Circumstances are not allowing them to do that. If those issues were addressed, we would not have this perennial situation in which facilities, such as Linn Dara, have to suspend some of their inpatient services. Hopefully this will not happen again and the beds will be reopened in the autumn so that we will not be in this circumstance. It is no good to anyone having a service, such as Linn Dara, in a situation where it cannot offer inpatient beds for the young people who need them.
