Farmers very often work on their own. Is that an issue here? Is the huge stress and pressure on farms, especially at this time of year and earlier, a factor? I know the Minister has made changes on this. Many applications and reports have to be made by farmers at the busiest time of the year when they are involved in calving and everything else when they might be stressed out. Is the HSA concerned about that issue?
