I appreciate that, but I am not getting the answer I seek to my question. Is there a process in place whereby if something happens, somebody can say, "I believe I have had a reaction here. I have been to the doctor and the family needs support", and a team can go in and help the family? I get the impression that there is not. It is a case of going back to the doctor to get the proof and going back to the hospital. Mr. Breslin and I, as non-medical people, know that this can take a year or two.
