Ms Barbra Dalton:

Add on another six years in specialty training. The training programme is constantly expanding and we now typically take in 13 to 15 trainees per year. Previously, some years only saw four or maybe six. We are planning the workforce and there are more trainees. The programme is second to none and trainees get an opportunity to go away and get their specialty training. All things being equal, we would have the bodies to fill the cardiologist and specialist posts in time.
