I will make a point to the Chair. All members have accepted that we want to make this one of the key priorities for this committee. We need to have quarterly meetings with Dr. Henry in private. We can hold them at the Department of Health if necessary or at the HSE offices, whatever suits. The first part has to be to get a comprehensive note from Dr. Henry about where the current plan is, where the strategy is, when it will be in place and what that will mean. Then we need to take the lessons from what has happened in New York and elsewhere and the issues raised by the witnesses today. We want to bring urgency to this. Things cannot happen overnight, but some can happen more quickly. That is something for us to agree at a private session of the Joint Committee on Health, but if we will bring a focus to this, we have to do it and I argue that is the approach we should take. Would Dr. Henry support that?
