I will try again. My second question relates to how we can provide for a legal entitlement to services. I noted Professor Pollock's recommendation that we should not do this on an incremental basis. In light of the ground we need to make up here in Ireland, does Professor Pollock think we should seek to provide legal access to those services at community and primary care level before dealing with acute hospital care?
