It is astonishing that person is being sent referrals constantly yet only works 15 hours a week. With 6% to 8% of the population suffering from rare diseases, surely we should have several whole-time equivalents. Those are the points that struck me. Many of the other issues have been covered. I have taken so many notes, it would take time to refer to all the pages, but I thank the representatives because I have learned a great deal today.
