I will stay on the issue of access to opioid substitution therapy. I know what the witnesses are saying, namely, that it is so much more complicated than that. Can we stick to the detail of that because I am interested in accessibility of opioid substitution therapy in an meaningful way? I fully admit that part of that is because I represent an area where there is a very strong concentration of services and I am aware that people travel to my area to get services when they are in addiction and need support. A total of 350 GPs are trained in level one or level two of opioid substitution therapy?
