I welcome all the witnesses. I apologise for arriving a little late. I hope that some of my questions might already have been covered.

I will highlight one issue. Some weeks ago, this committee heard harrowing stories about the abuse and violence faced by hospital staff, especially nurses. This issue seems to be exasperated by overcrowding. Will the Minister say what is being done to support staff who are faced with violence and whether security has been increased?
