Mr. Jim Breslin:

I agree with that but I stand over the statement, which is meant to be a general position. It is meant to reflect that we need to educate the public and talk to them more about the risk within our health services, and that balanced judgments are always needed. We have to have a partnership with people in making judgments and the patriarchical healthcare system, where it is left to the doctor to make all the decisions and where information is not shared, is part of the problem we are trying to get away from.
