We need the numbers in order to be able to support what Professor Butler is saying. It is really important that we have them. People need to know. People are paying thousands of euro to go abroad to get tests. Professor Butler just said that people are being misdiagnosed. We need to know. As I said earlier, I met a woman who out of desperation is packing bags in SuperValu to get the funding to send her daughter for the treatment she needs. We cannot have that. There is an onus on us and certainly on the witnesses to make sure that this information is presented in a really accurate way in which people can have confidence and trust.
