I do not know that I can speak to the why, but it can be improved with a different reorganisation. For example, we see with the outpatient toolkit, or the different scheduling of primary care for outpatient clinics in different primary care facilities, there are three clinics running per day instead of two and the focus is on making sure the time is spent so the consultants are seeing patients rather than doing the in between things that have happened in the past. It is very clear. There is no different way of practising now than before that accounts for that loss of time and it is not okay. Does Ms McGirr want to add anything?
