Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes, we have a strategy for this year. The point I made in my opening statement is that going into next year, one of the things I have agreed with the Secretary General is that we have parsed up the employment too much. There are too many different ways to look at it. There are new developments, existing posts, replacement posts, agency, overtime and so on. We now have to give service units a total pay budget, a total numbers budget and policy guidance as to the distribution of those across areas like nursing, allied health professionals and so on. There will be a rule set and then areas can get on with that. One of the intentions of the six-regions system is that areas can get on with it and respond to local need. If, ultimately, the manager in the west of Ireland decides a physiotherapist is more appropriate to the needs of the population than an occupational therapist, I am not going to argue with him or her.
