Obviously, there is much work going on. However, I am not hearing the data behind these decisions. Perhaps it exists and I hope it does. There are a number of areas where I want to know whether there is data available and whether it can be made available to the committee. The first one relates to EDs and the overcrowding in them and all of that. What analysis has been done of the reasons people are attending EDs? What are the different conditions that they come with?
