This is my very final question, Chairman. Many parents have said to me that because of the chaotic nature of the waiting lists and of course the fact that we have a two-tier health service, they have to borrow or get money somewhere in order to see a consultant privately as an outpatient in order to get on the public inpatient waiting list. Is this the case and what are our witnesses going to do about that?
