I thank Dr. O'Connor for that answer. Professor Cowan mentioned that several people had retired, including consultants, nurses and others. Nurses have said they could not continue to work because of exhaustion and have retired. Is there planning to account for proposed retirements in respect of consultants and nurses? I am aware it is not possible to foresee people resigning before their time, but I would like to know if there is planning in this regard and, if so, what that is.
