Well, the other countries train sufficient numbers and then they also have the kind of health service where the conditions are good.

So people want to stay.

So it's both the training aspect, training sufficient numbers, but also retention.

And we haven't been good on either of those.

So we don't train enough doctors and nurses for our own population.
