Ms Catherine Keogh:

I shall say one more thing on behalf of our administrative cohort because we have said a lot on behalf of our health and social care professionals. There needs to be adequate administrative numbers because nurses need to nurse, doctors need to diagnose, physiotherapists need to be doing what I said they are doing in Connolly Hospital and take people off the lists of surgeons, occupational therapists or OTs need to get people back to their homes, and dieticians need to help people learn how to eat again after suffering a stroke.

A strong original administration team, including secretarial support, is needed as well. We have no shame in saying that this is a vital component of the health service.
