The point is that if there are 26,000 more staff and the demand for, and cost of, agency workers is increasing, this should not be a puzzle. There has to be a rational explanation for this. Can Mr. Gloster tell me what is happening in the HSE to cause this situation? I understand that there are greater demands in that we have an increasing and ageing population. However, that does not explain away the mismatch. Why is that?
