Dr. Alan Wall:

It was more the second one. What we did not do was isolate one institution that answered all the questions. Depending on the need that was being met, and how we wanted to approach the issue of different types of veterinary education, the demand for them, the numbers and the regionality, we effectively came up with a number of scenarios that we left open to Government. That is what we did. For us, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to say something about the provision of veterinary medicine education.

We have to be as broad as we can to enable Government to make a better decision, rather than tying its hands by picking an institution and then finding later that there could have been a different type of provision done. That is what we have chosen to do.
