I understand that the HSA technically encompasses it now but it is a very specific area. The capacity for trauma is huge. On that, I wish to ask about staffing levels, particularly inspectors. I have raised this issue consistently. Does Ms Byron know how many inspectors will retire this year and next? Is there a pipeline of personnel to replace them? Often, we get caught up in recruitment figures. The Minister says X number of people have been recruited, which is grand, but there might be double that number heading out the door because they have done their shift. Does the HSA have clear sight of the number in the pipeline for inspectors?
