Can Mr. McBrien give us some examples? I represent Limerick City and we have a huge crisis in our emergency department. I would hate to think, as the witness has just explained to us, and I do not mean to downplay someone who has an addiction problem, that doctors might be taken away from a crisis intervention to prescribe methadone. Does that happen all the time?
