However, have we put a timeframe in place for upgrading facilities in each of the CHO areas and certain targets we wish to reach? If we do not have the facilities, we have difficulty in holding staff. We could have a repeat of what happened in CHO 4 with regard to not having staff and running into a considerable claims problem. Do we not need to prioritise capital expenditure in all of our facilities in order to prevent similar incidents occurring in the future?
