Thank you, Minister, for taking the intervention. In terms of workforce planning, we've heard that the vacancy rate is just under 3,000, but that figure comes from the Royal College of Nursing, and opposition parties here have done their own research to get to that figure. But in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland the Government publishes those figures, and I wonder if you would be minded to do that, because that in itself, I would hope, would be helpful in highlighting the issues and helping to address the workforce issues.
