You are talking about ophthalmology nurses, junior doctors, registrars and consultants. Starting with consultants, what kind of targets should we set as regards planning for the future? Do we need to increase the numbers? What are the kind of numbers we are looking for? Another question I have to ask is whether we have enough people in training in this area and whether we need to do a lot more to encourage more people into training in this area.
