That may well be true at this point but I have spent some time on a health forum and I know there was an embargo, that staff were not employed and the HSE went down the route of taking agency staff at a great cost. My specific question is what percentage of staff in nursing homes are agency staff? It is okay if the witnesses do not have the information. They can get it.
