As the hon. Gentleman suggests, this is unfortunate, and we are doing everything possible to effect an improvement, but it would be wrong to say that there is a "Staff Crisis" at the CVL.

There is a Serious Staff Crisis in the London Health Service.

No one will be surprised to hear, however, that the last Conservative Government closed two dental schools, which led directly to the Staff Crisis that we inherited and the requirement that this Government reinstate those places.

There was a Staff Crisis in terms of recruitment and retention.
