If she is to blame in the sense that her head has rolled, which I mean in the nicest possible way, surely there is a deficit now that she is gone, in the sense that she did a lot of work on the HPV vaccine. To my mind, she can be given credit for being involved in the reversal of the downward trend in the HPV vaccine. Just because her head has rolled in this instance is not to say that she never did any good, since she had significant impact on the HPV vaccine uptake. The witnesses outlined two roles that she had in a half-time job, which I imagine is probably 18 hours a week - I do not know. Many of us here do 18 hours of work in a day. It seems like a very important role. Now it is vacant. It was a half-time role, which was filled by a clinician. Is there a move to get that filled as quickly as possible?
