Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We are very aware of the specific situation in Clifden with the two sites. In fairness to the staff, they have done everything they can to be as flexible as possible in managing both sites. The solution in the longer term is a new site on which the two services can be brought together.

We are focused on recruiting internationally. As I said, approximately 1,400 nurses have been recruited and have arrived already this year. A further 300 are in pipeline for arrival either late this year or early next year. Much of the recruitment for home support and home care assistant staff is done locally, with local community teams trying to recruit. I have seen some of the information on this and, in fairness to the teams, they are doing what they can to staff those units.
