On that point, I had intended to mention this towards the end, but Dr. Coxon raised the issue of target numbers, the difficulty of achieving the targets and the issues around recruitment and retention. Is it the case that cuts have been applied to overtime? That has certainly been felt in Cork where members are encouraged to work no more than 40 hours of overtime in a four-week period. Is that a wise policy at a time when we might be struggling with recruitment and trying to hit target numbers?
