I am a lay person. The witnesses are sitting here as the people who were appointed to the board for their skills and competency - their words - and they are telling me that a two-stage process is the way forward because it is acknowledged and accepted internationally as the best way. Mr. Costello then references Ulster Hospital and the NHS as organisations that have used this model but cannot tell me whether they had the same problems. It seems like a very simple piece of information that people like the witnesses with their skills and competency should have. I do not think it is an unreasonable question.
