I welcome the work of the task force. What was really welcome was how quickly it did its work and reported back with very strong recommendations that I think we would all support. One of the things that the Pharmacy Union has been calling for for a long number of years is the concept of chief pharmaceutical officer. If we had a chief pharmaceutical officer, one could argue that we would not have needed a task force. We had a task force and it made recommendations but an advocate or a chief officer could give cohesion and make sure we actually deliver. Is that being or has that been looked at?
