I acknowledge it totally. I respect the delegates' honesty which is what I want as I need people outside the realm to know that they are not being fully supported either. They want to do it. The Chairman will laugh and my wife will kill me for using this line, but "prevention is better than cure". We are a reactive society and have to change to become a preventive one. That is why I acknowledge all the work being done by the delegates. I asked the specific question in order that the delegates could make an appeal for more to do what they have set out to do.
