I know but the problem is that if we do not have the staff to man them we will be in difficulty. There is another training issue, which is the need for Departments to co-ordinate. I understand that UCC is prepared to make available additional training places but the trainees also need to have access to clinical places in hospitals for the training process. There is a need for co-ordination between the Department of Health, the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science and the HSE. This needs to be put together.
