I disagree. The capacity is there. That was confirmed by Paul Reid. There is a need for that capacity to be used now because we know there are high-risk settings, such as in Cahir. Why must the capacity be protected? Is it a question of inadequate funding or inadequate supplies of reagent, for example? Why are we talking about protecting something when that capacity needs to be used?
