Obviously, there is a considerable lack of patient data. We have been able to get our hands on the basic data on staffing of clinics. It would seem that most of the hospitals have between four and five staff associated with their clinic. However, the opening times of the clinics range from two and a half to four hours per week across all the hospitals. That is a very limited time window for clinics to be operating. What is happening in that regard? I think there are between four and five members of staff per clinic. Would they all be on duty at the same time? Why are the opening hours so restricted?
