Mr. Bernard Gloster:

We do have absenteeism. We have tracking in that regard. It can run anywhere between 5% and 6.5%, depending on the different discipline or speciality. I would have to check the position regarding maternity leave. The Deputy is quite right that maternity leave is a significant feature, hence the reference earlier, in reply to the Cathaoirleach, to the need to retain a certain number of agency staff.
