It will be dealt with from the primary care reimbursement service, PCRS, budget. I know the Deputy made a pre-budget submission which was generous and set a large sum aside for it. It will not be that large but I am happy to let the consultant applications advisory committee, CAAC, do its work first.

I will not comment on individual cases, although I do not think that the Deputy is asking me to, including that of Ms Kiely other than to say that I have given a commitment to meet her and I will. I will ask Dr. Henry to comment on the broader issue of disclosure, which is important.

Finally, on the broader RCOG issues, I know Stephen, Lorraine and Vicky very, very well. I hold them all in huge regard. Stephen has written me a letter on two issues.

I addressed one this morning and we are considering the other. I will respond to him directly on it. I would feel happier for RCOG to answer those questions in a public forum here next week.
