I have a couple of questions before we finish. The witnesses from HIQA spoke about national clinical oversight. The Care Quality Commission, CQC, HIQA's equivalent in the United Kingdom, required that a clinical lead be identified by each care facility by 15 May because the situation in the UK at the time was the same as the situation still is here, wherein a number of different GPs were going in and out of care facilities treating different patients without clinical oversight in the care institution. Is that something HIQA would like to see happen here and, if so, would it require legislative change? I ask that question given the committee's remit.
