That is fair. I am saying they should use every available forum before they come here. We all accept that this committee is almost a last resort. We get very little media coverage because many of the cases have been raised all over the place before getting here. We are the last resort. I am asking for clarification from the Chairman and Deputy Buckley on whether these groups have gone through the regional health forum. If they have, I am sure we can agree to meet them. I do not have any issue with that. I am not putting any obstacles in anybody’s way or objecting to their case or the concerns they have about the two hospitals. I asked a simple question on whether they have gone through the regional health forum and met its members to make their case.
