Yes, it is interesting that the statistics have flatlined, despite the fact that we all know we have fewer consultants proportionately than we had some years ago. The figures have been flatlining for a number of years. That says an awful lot for the consultants. It is a good thing and a good statistic. I am not sure if people are aware of that because to be honest, I was not aware of it.

I will ask a few questions based on the statistics provided. I do not know if the witnesses will be able to answer all of them. Is there a breakdown for the consultants that are leaving, by discipline and area? In what area is the highest percentage of consultants leaving?
