There must be a difference in the risk between the non-qualified consultant, or whatever we would like to call it, and those who are qualified. There must be a difference in the number of cases of actions taken by patients against one or the other. It must be noticeable. If there is no difference, why is that so?

There is another question that was not answered relating to the number of graduates who cannot get on training schemes. I deliberately asked about it at a very early stage and although we have gone around the houses since, we did not get the answer to that question. I need the answer to those two questions.
