I have left less than two minutes remaining. There is the issue around the lack of new development funding and the correlation between this and the recruitment issue. The increase in recruitment between 2021 and 2022 has been cited a number of times. It is also raised in the briefing note to the committee, which states specifically that it ends at 2022 and cites 742 staff. Can I make the correlation? Is it a fair correlation to make that when new development funding is put in place, that is how we address and deal with the recruitment issue, and when it was not in place in 2022 and 2024 the recruitment issue has stagnated or stalled?
