I will make a final point. Mr. Kearns made the same point in his opening statement and in a private session we had with him and others in the HSE and the Department on RHAs. I mentioned workforce planning as being critical to success. That will be the single biggest challenge in healthcare over the next number of years. We need to be much more ambitious in setting targets for training but also dealing with a whole myriad of recruitment and retention issues. What advice on workforce planning has Mr. Kearns given to the Government?
