I thank Ms O'Connor. Similarly, Dr. Henchion answered a question on telemedicine. We received an amount of correspondence expressing the view that telemedicine, as opposed to direct, face-to-face contact, is a lesser service. Dr. Henchion has answered on that comprehensively, but she may wish to comment further. Playing devil's advocate again, a referendum was put to the people and reassurances were provided and a comprehensive set of regulations were legislated for based on the legislation for a 12-week limit and the three-day wait period I have mentioned. What do our guests say to people who say a referendum was put, these were reassurances that were provided and to look again at those would go against the spirit of that referendum.
