Mr. Pat Bergin:

I made the point that when I started on campus, around four years ago, we had a nurse. Now we have three nurses on site to cover throughout the day. The idea is there will be proper medical provision on site. We have a comprehensive GP system on site. All of our staff are trained in basic first aid. The question that arose concerned an enhanced first aid model. My concern is that we have over 160 staff and if everybody was to be trained to that level, it would take a long time. If there is a scald injury or a broken bone there needs to be an immediate response. The focus should be on making sure the service is available to the young person rather than on everyone being trained. I have structured that by making sure the appropriate medical ability is on site. We have recently added a social care worker to our medical team to ensure that medication management over weekends is at the highest possible standard. We are continuously reviewing how we can do that.
