I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I will ask a few questions about the embargo on recruitment and the impact it has had. It is denied that there was an embargo. What is the number of vacancies that were available when the embargo was not in operation? How many deserving posts were being and were filled at that time? What is the total number of people recruited into the health services in the past year or two? What has happened in those sensitive areas, the areas of greatest pressure and greatest concern? This is not to be critical.
