I am anticipating that report but I have not received it yet. I have not been presented with it yet. Of course, I will look at it immediately. There are a number of different issues that are not the same thing. One is the report, and we will look at the issues that are particular to that. The others are the resources and the increase in the number of consultants, which is quite considerable as the Deputy is aware, and making sure that we have the best workforce plan for the hospital in the first instance and into the future. They are two distinct things and I would not like to conflate them because no matter how many consultants we have, of course, we have to make sure that every consultant and every person working in the health system is working in the correct way. We may need to separate the issues in the review, which we will look at and I am sure the House will look at in great detail, from the overall workforce plan for the hospital for the future.
