Again, there is help available. My final question is on the echo test and how it could be six or nine months. Is that down to geographical location? Unfortunately, people talk about going to the GP but we know from the Joint Committee on Health that it is quite challenging depending on what part of Ireland a person lives to get basic access to a GP or to a dentist. This can be difficult. Unfortunately, much of it is down to geographic location. Is it the same with the echocardiogram?
