Senator Craughwell said this committee is there to support our citizens when everything else has failed them. Are we not pre-empting the failure of the Committee on Health to address this? Should we not just let it do its work? If we feel it is not adequate or if people feel they have been failed, at that point, we can step in. I am conscious of the phrase the Chairman has just used that it might get “very messy” if we have too many parties involved. Surely to have too many committees involved has that same risk.
