If a committee member feels somewhat differently they should tell us all of this. I am a member of the committee the same as everybody else. I have the same rights as everybody else and I am raising the question. I am doing so because everybody else in the country is talking about the issue of the health service at present. We have found at every meeting of the committee for the past 12 months individuals prepared to take steps to address the issues, do something about it and prove they could do something about various issues under their remit. We are here today after a certain length of time, heading for 1 May, and we do not seem to have a plan. Six months of the year have gone. Again, I am not criticising Mr. Fraser for it but there needs to be somebody who can come before the committee and give the committee some satisfactory answers on what is going on. Does Mr. Fraser not agree?
