It is a shame that the clinicians are not involved in the decision-making. We are lucky, in a country of this size, that we have well qualified clinicians, yet their opinions are just dismissed. There is protectionism within the system that certainly does not serve either the clinicians or the families and those who need the solutions and treatment.
