I thank Dr. Coffey for that. I have a final question on NCRI. The issues were not at that end but at Mr. Coffey's end, I am sorry to say. It was seriously alarming. Dare I say it, but only for Vicky Phelan we would still not have known about this. Probably within NCRI, but particularly within the HSE, the lack of awareness was frightening. I hope that has all been dealt with to ensure one standard across the board. NCRI does good work and it is very good that we have it. It is absolutely necessary and everything is based on the statistics the officials behind me produce. It just has to be prioritised.
