A number of members asked about the skill mix in primary care. I was surprised to hear in the presentation that there was scope for limited task transfer because a lot of witnesses coming to us have talked about the need for task transfer. We are talking about the need to concentrate on chronic disease management and a great deal of that work would be nurse-led. As such, I am surprised to hear that statement.
