The Herity report says what it says. The witnesses have varying views. The committee does not have the authority to sanction catheterisation laboratories, or public expenditure for that matter, but what we would like to do is determine how we can address this issue. I do not believe there is a big bang solution to it. Dr. Owens said at least six or seven interventions cardiologists would be needed to have a 24-7 service.
