Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I am confident they can be recruited but if the pipeline is not there to automatically generate them to come from college or back from abroad, there are also people in agency posts in mental health. I have written to both mental health unions recently to encourage them. I have said that if their members are in agency posts and they want to convert to HSE employment, and if the unions encourage them, we will convert them. It will a combination of strategies that will bring us up to that number.
