Mr. O'Brien does not need to convince me. I am already convinced. I just do not believe that Mr. O'Brien has any plan and I consequently cannot help but come to the conclusion that he has not prioritised the conversion of agency staff into directly employed staff. Mr. O'Brien is presiding over a health service that is a deeply unattractive place for health professionals and support staff to work in. He knows this because they leave the health service. The health service cannot recruit , attract or retain staff.
