I do not need a lecture on that, Chairman. I understand that. I am just saying that it is a pity we could not get more information on that because it would have been useful. That type of expertise is very helpful in terms of giving clarity to the public, so perhaps that person might be able to speak publicly over the weekend. It would be useful.

Turning to Ms Murphy, the master has said that he would welcome more definition in the constitution on the meaning of "clinically appropriate". We discussed the definition of "clinically appropriate" with the Minister for hours yesterday. Stuff was read into the record and the Minister is going to provide further clarity. Would Ms Murphy agree that it would be useful if it was more explicitly defined in the constitution of the hospital?
