Mr. Keith Moynes:
We are trying to increase the number of places in the system at present. We have a phased introduction of 200 new medicine places and over the past two years, we have put in an additional 390 nursing places. In allied health therapies we put in place 126 places last year and 147 places this year. We have been trying to increase organically the number of places, including in areas such as radiation therapy which I know Deputy Burke is particularly interested in. We have been trying to do this.
