I thank all the delegates for attending and for their time. I would like to walk through the process from the patient's perspective and try to understand where the disagreements are between the testimony we heard earlier today and the one we are hearing now and the difference between the various studies the delegates are citing and those cited earlier today. It has been suggested that general practitioner training on identification might not be great and that there is a great opportunity to train general practitioners to recognise a tick bite and the potential for short-term treatment. Is it true that there is a lot of work to be done on awareness-raising in the general practitioner community?
