Ms Rogers said that in budget 2023, funding for 23 specialist nurses was announced. There are three specialist nurses in CHO 2, which is very welcome, and there was a campaign last year to recognise the need for nine specialist nurses. Obviously, three is better than zero, but there is still a gap of six. With a full complement or team, how does Ms Rogers envisage services improving? How necessary is it on the ground and how does she foresee it developing?
