Mr. Cussen is well accustomed from his previous role, to the constraints between what is required and what is available. Does he think there is a need for independent assessments and publication of estimates of the staffing levels that are required to meet these kinds of functions? Is that something that his body could or should do? There is a political process and a budgetary process, but objectively, somebody needs to say that if this kind of stuff is to be done, this is the kind of resourcing that would be involved.
