Yes. First and foremost, we have to be able to systematically identify the causes of patient safety issues and eliminate them. There is considerable work being done on that. There is, for example, a new obstetrics incident team looking at exactly these kinds of issues. We need to do that across the board. In fairness to our public service doctors, they spend a lot of time reviewing their work, identifying errors made and updating training, guidance and protocols to eliminate patient safety issues.
