Ms Magdalen Rogers:

The system will be stretched to recruit those nurses by the end of the year. However, with the training that has been put in place, and with the commitment of the neurology services to identify people in other nursing roles and encourage them to apply for these posts, we would be hopeful that a lot of the posts would be filled. It certainly will be a challenge for the services to put those nurses in place. As with my earlier comments to Deputy Cullinane, we would see this as part of an ongoing investment to bring up the shortfall in nurses. We certainly do not expect it to be solved within one year.
