It might be worthwhile for us to commission a separate piece of work on resource allocation. If we take, say, the nine community health organisations in the country and see the population, age and deprivation profiles and then see what staff allocation is in place already we can make an assessment. My understanding is that there is a very wide variation, both in terms of general practitioners, physiotherapists, social workers and so on.
