I want to come back to Dr. Murphy. The number of consultants who would have provided this care is quite small in real terms; my understanding is that the figure may be lower than 20. The collection of data is not easy because people have to go through records. We have a crazy system whereby we do not have an up-to-date data collection service in real terms. Our medical records are still paper files. Is it still not possible to collect that data due to the small number of consultants providing this type of care?
