HSE Winter Plan 2022-2023: HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
What I would say regarding those numbers is that the plan was approved only a number of weeks ago so we have not started to collate that information yet. Officials at the sites were aware vacancies were coming and were trying to recruit staff, so we will be collating that information on a monthly basis through the winter. Some were targeted in the first half of the winter, in quarter four this year, and others are planned to be in place by quarter one for the January period, when we also know we hit additional peaks. It will vary but we will be pulling that information together over the next while with the sites. In excess of 400 of those are local to all the sites and some of the balance of those are central.
