Mr. Kevin Duffy:

We did not measure the management level but it is self-evident that in many areas there has not been a return to the pre-moratorium levels of staffing. Whatever about stripping down the front-line staff during the moratorium, ancillary services were really hit. The answer to the question is there are still difficulties there. If external recruitment is to be intensified, obviously staff are needed to organise competitions and deal with all of what we might call the infrastructural things that need to be put in place, in order that if a candidate is identified he or she can be put in a ward to do a job. They are not insurmountable difficulties, but they are difficulties nonetheless.
