I apologise for going off on a tangent with this issue.

We must look at the direction in which we will be moving if we are obliged to track the records of the people with whom we are dealing. Appendix A tracks the 24 procedures but there is no list provided as to the number of people covered by those procedures. Will somebody forward the relevant information in this regard to the committee? I am sure it is in the system and that it was just not included in the documentation provided. It was stated that a number of other procedures are not included on the list. What are the most common procedures carried out on an outpatient or day case basis which are not included on the list of 24? I am seeking to discover what might be missing.
