I understand that and have read it, but that language does not reassure me that that is what is happening. That is not really what the chapter said. My interpretation is that it said that the hospital inpatient inquiry system was not adequate for its purpose of clearly identifying which consultants were carrying our private practice and to what extent, and whether or not they were complying with their contract. The hospital inpatient inquiry system was inadequate to do that. Has it been changed as a result of this chapter?
