Ms Claire Hanna:

It has been really interesting to hear about the work that CAWT is doing, which is at the core of what we should all be doing because cross-Border co-operation and all-island co-operation are about materially improving people's lives. We have probably not done as much of that as we could have over the last couple of years.

A feature of the way this committee works and the rotation is that all of the good questions have often been asked at this point. In the preceding contributions colleagues have asked lots of very good questions. Of course, I do not have a constituency overlap so I do not come across the work of CAWT on a day-to-day basis but I have a couple of questions which follow on from Senator Currie's questions about qualifications. Mention was made of the need to embrace the dual registration issue. Generally, how are things for healthcare workers in terms of being able to deliver services and move around seamlessly? The witnesses said they have embraced dual registration but do they have the opportunity to deal with issues like that? If they hit an administrative barrier, perhaps flowing from Brexit, are there ways to have that addressed?

Covid obviously laid bare the challenges of working between two jurisdictions but I imagine it has probably also accelerated the integration of some services and sped up some of the changes that were probably already happening in the delivery of health services generally. What would be CAWT's top-line learnings out of Covid? How has it changed what CAWT does?
