I read the correspondence and it raises a whole pile of questions. It is very interesting. I feel that some of the issues that have been raised in the correspondence are likely to be raised by others, and as a consequence we have to get to some format. I accept what the Chairman has said on the caveat of ensuring the inspector is independent. We also have to find some vehicle to be able to get to the bottom of the four or five issues of deep concern that are in this correspondence. We need a methodology for doing this, perhaps through the Department of Health.
