I come back to the issue where a surgery was carried out on a child and the procedure that was carried out was deemed not the best way of managing that patient. Obviously, there is a team with senior registrars, registrars and consultants. You now have, say, a senior registrar who has now become a consultant. In instances where families do not want any part of that team being involved in the care of that child, is that being looked at and clearly identified to make sure that problem is not arising?
