Mr. Paul Reid:

We offer significant full-time contracts across all the professions. That is our primary model. As to why people are going abroad, we have a significant young workforce, including doctors, nurses and other professions. They have had two years where they could not travel. We see a trend where younger people in particular want to travel. They want to get experience abroad and then come back.
