With respect, Ms Hardiman, we are very short on time. I appreciate her response but my question is more direct. I am asking it from her perspective, and I know there will be an external review. Is it possible that huge pressure was exerted on consultants working in these hospitals to do more procedures than it was potentially safe to do? Given the level of complications that arise, the level of aftercare and ICU capacity, is that a possibility?
