I thank all our witnesses for their work in dealing with this issue during a difficult time. Returning to the issue of access to services during the pandemic and referrals from GPs, there was a difficulty with access to all medical services over the past 20 months and that included access to GPs and laboratories. If a GP were to refer someone for an assessment now, what would be the time from referral to assessment? Are there different delays in each area? I would like some clarity on those aspects.
