It is a real concern at the mo, my relatives working in various departments are all singing the same song - assets beyond their useful life and either requiring major overhaul and rebuild or with maintenance requirements increasing in cost without budget to do it, major 'back of house' works either in the middle of being implemented or needing to be done, huge amounts of OIA and minister requests basically taking critical team members off the tools and no way to replace the labour hours, and then the requirement to shave budgets. It's a difficult if not impossible scenario and as noted the external risks aren't going away for outfits like MPI who are the front line against new diseases.
