Dr. John Lambert:

As a next step, the Deputy should ask the Government the number of patients seen. That would be the accurate way of finding out. I did not want to state that we are managing the most patients but like I said, I suspect we are. I currently run an extra clinic and stay until 6 o'clock on a Friday afternoon. I have two research registrars that I pay for out of my research moneys to help me run the clinic. I was basically told that if I was not being funded to run this clinic to close it down. I thought about doing that but it would not be fair to the patients. The best thing to do is see if I can move this forward proactively and become a part of the solution.
