I am out of time. I wish to make a final point. I agree with everything Dr. Lambert has said in his opening statement. He has stated that the accumulating evidence is that the lungs and heart are healing but the brain is not healing. That is substantially where the problem is. Even though a lot of clinics are being set up, if they are not dealing with the neurological issues then we are not treating patients in the way that we should. Dr. Lambert has also referenced referral pathways from GPs. There is a huge amount that needs to be done there. The statement that we received from the support group mentioned difficulties in accessing some of the clinics. For example, patients in County Donegal have to go to Galway to access them. If Dr. Lambert has had the opportunity to engage with the clinical lead, does the plan he wants to submit to the Minister include the provision of more clinics, as well as more of a focus on the neurological issues?
