That is super. Will Dr. Twomey keep us up to date on that? If a further review or further consultation with RCPI members is done, it would be really interesting for us to hear about it and have a wider lens on whether there are diverging views within the organisation. Professor Landers summed up the situation, in line with my layperson's interpretation, as that there would likely be very diverging and diverse views within the profession.

He eloquently summed up my own rambling thoughts on this complex issue and the concerns that exist around safeguards. Am I right in saying that his organisation has not taken a definitive stance?
