I just wanted to ask about the doctors interviewed. Did the delegates not find that doctors working here believe they are doing a lot of work that really should not be under their remit, or that other staff in the hospital should be doing much of the work general doctors in Ireland do by comparison with those in other jurisdictions? As a result of their doing that work, we are overworking general doctors and underutilising their qualifications and expertise.
