Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

If three nurses from one ward want to go out there, it is too much for three nurses to go all together. It would cause concern over maintaining services in a ward in, for example, Temple Street or Crumlin. We have worked to have those staff going out one month or six weeks apart. We have identified backfills who have come in and started very quickly so that there is not a drop in the numbers in the ward. We have worked very closely with nursing to identify the areas from which they are coming and whether there is a risk concerned with them moving and whether we have a backfill identified very quickly.
