Ms Anne O'Connor:

Absolutely. We need to have a service that can respond to people out of hours, as well as in hours. If one responds out of hours at present, it will be a paediatric response in terms of paediatric hospitals. Clearly, the preference would be to have that specialist support available but it is about being able to get sufficient numbers of people. The reality is that the numbers out of hours are very low. When it happens, it is very serious, but it does not happen very often. Our priority is to be able to staff our teams during the day.
