When those people leave, we know that they are leaving to go to countries where the pay is better. Compared with those countries, they are not well paid. I hope that the new board has the opportunity to actively engage with healthcare professionals, learn from them and to be able and empowered to put in place strategies to recruit and retain key front-line healthcare professionals. That will be the challenge to meet the capacity deficit that we have for the new board and for the Minister.
