Professor Ann O'Doherty:

No, it is not that it did not apply to what we were doing. We were in the plan in terms of implementation but there was no process to commence it. There is no other international programme that does it and we were watching with great interest what was happening in England. We were awaiting developments there and we are now lucky to have at our disposal the methodology by which it was implemented there. There is no other programme that has done it, other than England. Scotland and Wales have not done it yet. We are in the HSE plan for implementation in 2018 but realistically I think it will not happen until early in 2019.
