Ms Suzanne Morrissey Forde:

No, unfortunately we are not. We are all trying to work within the budgets we are given. We are given our budget for the year and we are all try to work within that budget and try not to come out with a deficit, but that does put strains on other areas of the service. Even when we cannot retain staff, we are bringing in an agency staff which costs us 69% above our own staff hourly rate. We have to allocate funds to that, which we would prefer to allocate elsewhere in the service to keep a good quality service.
