I welcome all the witnesses and congratulate all three areas on having a clear audit opinion. That is great comfort to the nation, I am sure. I stepped out for a minute and ended up in the Chamber as there were a lot of votes going on, so I apologise for being out.

On staffing, there seems to be a reasonably high turnover of staff. If this has been asked earlier, I will move on, but is it to do with being unable to get staff or is it to do with salary or another issue?
