I will ask one last question. There is clearly a lot of concern about the sharing of health information and particularly in relation to the information that GPs have. The relationship between a person and a GP is very personal.

How does the Department intend to proceed regarding access to that health information, if GPs need to share health information with some central body? Does it have a schedule of people with access to that information based on seniority in the health service?
