If there is going to be recruitment freeze, and I imagine that thousands of people are retiring every year, what we are talking about is a net decrease in numbers. Even if a recruitment freeze is not completely across the board and only certain elements within the HSE will be affected by it, will there be a net decrease in staff as a result of the budget Mr. Moloney has provided to the HSE?
