I am conscious that I am hogging the meeting but I have one last question that we did not touch on and that is emergency situations. I will give an example with a kango hammer. A bit of metal into went into my eye and I nearly lost the eye. Straightaway, at that time, you would go to the accident and emergency department or the eye and ear hospital. You cannot do that now. You have to have a doctor’s note. There are major problems there. What does a person do in that situation with a workplace injury? Do you just call an ambulance?
