I thank the witnesses for their statements. My first question is on the recruitment embargo. Obviously, this embargo lasted for a year and had a detrimental effect on the health service. Would I be right in saying that the pay and numbers strategy is almost a continuation of the embargo but just with a different name? If that is the case, and it seems to be the case where there is a recruitment embargo in a different form, is this heading towards industrial action on the part of the witnesses' unions?
