It is not about diagnosis. I just want to be able to advise people not to go abroad based on the numbers of diagnoses, which were proved incorrect last year and the previous year, in order that they would not waste their time fundraising and so on because the chances would be that they were wrong. I am not doing diagnoses or anything, I just want the information to support that.

We discussed GP training earlier. Is Dr. Sheehan confident that the GPs have sufficient training here? If there is a training gap for GPs, what is being done?
