I did but I now have a quick question. I acknowledge Mr. O'Brien has left. The reputation of the HSE and the health services are generally on the lower end of the scale. There is a quandary about governance and risk in terms of this issue. There is almost an instinct not to publicise something that has gone wrong because to do so would add to the perception of poor service. However, if the HSE were to admit that something went wrong but that it found out about it and made people aware of that, it could be the genesis of creating confidence. I do not refer to any particular situation in that regard.
