It is very worrying that Dr. Glynn, as the deputy chief medical officer of the State, is not an authority on this issue. I refer to the document I have seen which the witnesses have provided. Dr. Lambert is not associated with it but the witnesses prepared it specifically for this committee. It seems to be consistent with the view other than Dr. Lambert's. It mentions, and Dr. Glynn mentions, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. It is strange that there is no code in the WHO for that. I wonder why that is. How come that did not get into the dictionary? Does Mr. Glynn know the answer to that?
