Yes. One of the issues I will raise is exhaustion among consultants and working hours that are not acceptable. Errors happen because of this. I must be honest in saying that. Consultants are human beings. They have worries and concerns about malpractice as a result of it. That is a real issue. I think the issues are related, and while I do not agree with it, I accept the Chairman's ruling. It does not look great to the public following these proceedings.
