Deputy Jack Chambers has raised an important point that we need to consider. I will ask the chief medical officer to advise me on the policy. From a delivery point of view, the chief clinical officer of the HSE, Dr. Henry, might also look at it and we can revert to the Deputy. My attention has not been drawn to the need to do more to regulate the position. Instinctively, I am of the view that the Deputy has identified an important issue. I will revert to him directly once I take advice from the chief medical officer and chief clinical officer.
