Mental Health Services: Discussion

Mr. Peter Hughes:
No. That is the number who can retire. Some of them may stay on for an extra year, but currently they are eligible to retire.
Regarding the 420 who are in training, the process only started in 2017 and they will not qualify until 2021. There is an attrition rate of between 10% and 12%.
