I will stop Dr. Holohan there because that is what I am focused on: that the non-disclosure of that information was wrong. The non-disclosure of the information was partly due to the circular that was issued. We all agree that the non-disclosure was wrong. A conscious decision was made, for whatever reason, to give consultants discretion not to inform all of the patients and it is clear that everybody now accepts that was wrong. Surely, Mr. Breslin would be of the view that his Department should have been made aware at that point.
