I will go back to one other question for the HSE. In fairness, according to the figures the HSE gave us last week there are now 157,000 people working in the HSE and there has been massive recruitment over the past six years. It has gone up over 40,000 whole-time equivalents. As regards people leaving, have we an exit survey in each of our hospitals and healthcare facilities? Are we analysing them and identifying things that need to be done to retain people within the service rather than having to constantly recruit new people to replace those who are leaving? Where are we as regards developing that?
