If the infrastructure where people can work is in place, people will be attracted to work in the health service. At the moment, as Dr. Goffe says, we have to bring down the waiting lists. Emergency departments in hospitals are overrun, short staffed, and do not have the necessary infrastructure. We need to have infrastructure-led development in our health service. The healthcare workers will follow. I imagine that as well as the healthcare workers following, there would be a better patient experience and the dignity of the patient would improve significantly.
