Mr. Pat Bennett:

The Deputy is right. It is not just a population issue. This is both a national and an international problem, particularly in regard to consultants in the child and adult mental health services, CAMHS, but also specialised nursing staff. We are working with universities in terms of placements, looking at post-graduate programmes, etc. Some of it is around lifestyle choices. When people finish training, many of them want to travel and see some of the world. Some of it is to do with the fact - one of our colleagues mentioned this last week - that our systems are underdeveloped and therefore people might not want to come into the environment without having a full multi-disciplinary team around them. There are a number of challenges there and for us to grow services, we will have to make sure we have permanent staff in place. The previous speaker mentioned the inconsistency of people turning up and seeing a different person every time. That is very difficult because to get that connection with a young person in particular takes time and energy, which can be lost. There are a number of factors. It is not always about wages and conditions, even though that is a factor. There are other factors as well.
