Ms Fiona Larthwell:
From speaking with the HSE, our experience, is that it has significant problems with recruitment in terms of trying to find numbers. An interesting thing about HSE provision is that it tends to be delivered by older people - people over the age of 60 - so a lot of retirements are happening and in terms of even back filling that need, the HSE is finding quite difficult to meet those commitments.
