Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There would not be a shared agreement among us that that figure is the figure we would believe because the growth of nursing over the past four years has been the highest, in terms of actual WTE number growth. The WTE in December 2019 was 119,800. The WTE in December 2023 was 145,900. As I said, the WTE in August this year was 147,714.
