Mr. Bernard Gloster:

That is why we now use healthcare assistants. We use a certain level of Quality and Qualifications Ireland, QQI, training for them. It is recognised as a significant professional contribution. All of that lifts the standard and attractiveness of it, but there is a history in some parts of the country of providing it directly and not in others. Where we can add most is where there is already a history of providing it because we can promote it with word of mouth. The Chair's point is a very fair one.
