I thank the Minister of State for her extensive response to my question. To get back to the two people who contacted me last week about the lack of GPs, I wonder if there is anything in the Minister of State's response that will give them comfort. I sincerely hope there is. I welcome the fact that more places are going to be made available for training. The problem is, like in many other sectors such as nursing, teaching or whatever, we seem to be training our nurses and doctors to emigrate and find better packages and deals elsewhere. That is a big factor. It is something we are going to have to challenge. We need some creative thinking in order to do that. I thank the Minister of State for her response.
