In medicine also, we train people who are not offered intern placements out of some of our universities. There are issues whereby we are training people across a whole range of professional areas and then not guaranteeing them places in employment or increasing the staffing numbers to sustain these reduced waiting times in the long term, rather than just using short-term measures to do that.
Next is Deputy Sherlock for the Labour Party slot.
