Ms Niamh Muldoon:

Perhaps we are at cross purposes in terms of figures but, if Deputy Carthy looks at page 14 of that report, he will see that a Behaviour & Attitudes survey of veterinary practitioners and veterinary nurses showed that 52% of vets and 42% of nurses were not in favour of corporatisation. Some 34% of vets were in favour of allowing corporatisation and 14% of those surveyed believed it made no difference. Among nurses, 34% were in favour while 25% said it made no difference. In the second paragraph on page 14, it says "Corporate ownership opposition shifted from 50% to 52% among veterinary practitioners and from 41% to 42% among veterinary nurses."
