Is the First Minister aware of the effect that staff shortages could have on the NHS? Does he agree that the call-up of staff to service the armed forces, coupled with the increase in demand due to potential casualties, can only make matters more difficult? He said:

"We have robust and flexible plans in place ... to deal with any increased demand. We have also made plans to cope with the call-up of NHS staff."

Will he tell the chamber what those plans are?
