On the same issue of DMD, families said they were getting treatment in Newcastle, for instance, and again, because of Brexit, that was all changing. The facility in Newcastle is no longer open to new patients in relation to that. As I said, it just seems to be obvious thing. It is an interim solution; it is not going to solve the problems for these families.

The ideal would be if it was rolled out in the South. It seems like the perfect fit and I would appreciate if the unit could follow up on it with its contacts.

Finally, we agreed before the meeting that the committee would look at health. Would it be the unit that we would give that report on shared funding and shared island stuff to or would it be the Department or what way does it work?
