Does Professor Keegan see that as one of the advantages or potential advantages of the RHAs? He indicate that he is waiting with interest for their view in respect of that matter, but will it enhance or detract from the proposals being put forward today? Are the witnesses concerned about that new structure? They seem to have people on board at the moment, and there appears to be quite a lot of interest in it. Do the witnesses believe that a new structure may look at this completely differently, or would detract from it? The advantage of having a system in place that is clearly working one would like to think that the new structure will look favourably on it. That is one of the worries I have about these multiple regional structures. With regard to questions about equipment in a particular area, who will make the final decision about who gets what? Will the decision be made by the regional structure? Shortly after this meeting, there will be another meeting at which the regional structure will be discussed. Do the witnesses have any concerns regarding the structures that are coming down the tracks very quickly?
