Mr. Anthony Owens:

By a way of illustration, Dr. McGarry referred to the Crowe Horwath report on public health medicine. The report was commissioned in 2015 or 2016 and presented to the Department of Health in 2018. We had to threaten industrial action to see it, not even to implement it. Do we need more reports? Perhaps we might get on with discussing and implementing the reports we have received, rather than going for more. The current consultants' committee chairman has said there is one iron law in health - no report has ever been fully implemented.
