I will be brief as we are all probably feeling a little tired. When we get someone in to look at this, the comprehensive review required will be considered and if that can be done in a shorter period than six months, we will be very happy. We need to emphasise again that this should not be an exercise that will drive fear into people. We must be careful about this because people are watching what is happening and are very conscious of the issue. We need to reassure people that we are struggling to find a solution to the issue, but we are convinced we will find one that is both compassionate and that will ensure people who need a service will have it available to them.
