The worrying thing about the long waiting lists, particularly in the case of something urgent, is we know that the longer one leaves the condition, the more likely that it cannot be reversed. Mr. Mullaniff spoke about macular degeneration and how if a person gets the injections, it stops there. It does not go back and that is the big worry. As a committee we accept the idea that a strategy is needed. We had people in regarding hearing loss in a couple weeks ago and again the issue was there is no strategy. I just do not understand. Does Mr. Mullaniff understand why there is no strategy in relation to a response to this issue? Is there a reason?
