I commend what is coming from the ESRI, notwithstanding the data gaps that are there. It is excellent. The CSO has put out a call for consultations as to what it might do differently or better. We put the request in through the finance committee and the Committee on Budgetary Oversight that it would have better congruence in respect of the data it is producing with the data in the North so as to be able to fill those gaps for us to better examine and compare the data. That will be really helpful as well.

As regards medicine and the other education and training and so on, is there any role for the shared island unit in ensuring we have similar accreditation guaranteed across the island, whether with CORU or in respect of veterinary studies and the new veterinary school and so on?
