Ms Kate Duggan:

Just to assure the Deputy, we have a detailed and significant agency conversion programme. Any social worker or social care worker who is with us on agency has the opportunity to transfer into a permanent contract, obviously subject to probation, within the agency. There are some people who choose to work agency because that is what they want, and then there are periods, for example our welfare checks or where we need work done across particular programmes of work within services, that we may have engaged some agency administrative support to support that.
