I will shortly ask the Vice Chairman, Deputy Browne, to take the Chair but before that I must say that was the clearest and most profound statement. You use the analogy of the river and you are absolutely right. Teach people how to swim first. You were also very clear when you said we should hear what you have to hear as a GP. We are getting that idea. Certainly, we have invited people who provide services and people who are accessing the services to appear before the committee, but I ask the members to ask Dr. Barry to disclose more about what he is hearing because if we do not include that in the report, nobody will know.
