I apologise for interrupting but I am conscious that the Chair will shut me down after five minutes and I have a few more bits and pieces to get through. The Minister of State indicated average vacancy rates for CDNTs were 34% throughout the CHOs. Are there significant variations within this figure? Are there CHOs that are well below 34% or well above it? Within that figure, are there specific skills within CDNTs that are affected? Speaking about a 34% vacancy rate may not capture specific deficits, be it in speech and language therapy, occupational therapy or wherever the deficits are.
