Ms Rachel Kenna:

I will set out where we are with that. We are committed to delivering that plan. It is almost complete. We are in the final stages of it and we are finalising the projection models that need to go with each of the different disciplines, namely, medicine, nursing, midwifery and health and social care professionals. The plan is built on four pillars. One is about building future supply and we have alluded to some of that in the form of the undergraduate training places mentioned in the Secretary General's opening statement. The second part is about recruiting and retaining the staff in the health service. That is largely the work the HSE is doing. The third part of it is the planning, which is the long-term workforce planning that is reliant on the predictions and modelling we are finalising this week. The fourth part of it is workforce reform. There are a number of elements we are looking at under that heading, including advanced practice for health and social care professionals and the development of new and different roles in the health service. Those four pillars are well advanced. There is a lot of work commenced under all of those and it will be fully documented. The final piece is just the projection numbers we are finishing off.
