I'd like to come back to how we have the most appropriate service possible. I actually spoke at an event organised on IBD in London in the past, which was organised with a range of people from across the UK to look at what we're doing, and I recognise that I do know that we don't have the number of specialist nurses that we would ideally wish to. But it's still about understanding how many specialists we could, should and will get, what that means in terms of workforce consequences in other places, and even if we can't have the number of specialist nurses we would ideally want to, how do we still, nevertheless, provide the very best possible care. I'm more than happy to undertake to come back to the Member directly about the current position and what improvement plans are in place within the service as well.FootnoteLink
