Mr. Bernard Gloster:

All I can say is that it would appear to be a mixed experience because, certainly, I have gone on to many wards at many times of the day and night and at weekends and have met very senior nurses who are highly skilled practitioners, and nurse managers, but I take the Deputy's point. There has been more of a focus on getting to safe staffing levels than probably the balance within that of X senior versus Y junior. It is part of the change process of modernising the health service in rostering.
