Mr. David Moloney:

Yes, we agree a pay and numbers strategy with the Department of Health and the HSE every year. We have one in place for 2025. There can be real challenges with some front-line services in getting vacancies filled. However, we take the point completely about not substituting front line for administrative. We meet with the Department of Health every month and that is one of the issues we maintain a very strong focus on.
