My final question is an observation and a question. The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth notes that the rights of entry are assigned to the chief inspector, which is fair enough. I can understand why. The chief inspector will be the authorised officer, while HIQA will not. It is important that this power is delegated. That is an omission in the Bill and it needs more thought and wider consideration. I ask that this is given substantial consideration. It is one of the major flaws in the Bill. We obviously want this Bill to progress but there are so many areas in this that we have to get right, and that is one of them. Perhaps the witnesses can respond to that point in the 30 seconds left.
