I thank the Deputy for that question. A huge amount of progress has been made on this issue this year. In the 18 months prior to April, there was a 27% increase in staffing in our CDNTs. That is not just new vacancies being filled but also retention, which is an issue as well. I think it is really important that we retain and develop our staff as well as attract them.
