Ms Jacqui McCrum:

The situation in the Naval Service is acute in that there has been a significant drop in personnel. We all agree with that. Significant effort is going into trying to arrest and stop that, and to change that. We have seen some green shoots and positive output for the first three months of this year, where we have more coming in than leaving, which is positive.
