I thank the witnesses for their contributions today. It has been very beneficial to us, as members, to hear their views. We will take them into consideration when we publish our final report. We ask the witnesses to put as much pressure as possible on those within the HSE at HR level to make sure that it uses whatever mechanisms possible to get the staffing level required, whether it involves going abroad or amending the critical skills list. All of these things needed to changed 12 to 18 months ago, not now. We ask that that happens urgently.
