In 2014, Dr. O'Shaughnessy wrote a report about the serious problem with antiparasitic resistance. It was roughly around the same time that the Brits wanted us to chip in with them, according to my understanding, in going the way that they were going to make sure that basically the competent person could give out the medicines. There was a Department document written at that stage that highlighted the serious problem in it. How come nothing was done then?
