The reason I am asking is that engagement on behalf of the public, through the public representatives and regional health forum, is a very good vehicle. While the HSE might not meet the campaign group for whatever reason, this is where this committee comes into its own. We have done this previously but in terms of their campaign, have the witnesses written to or engaged with the Joint Committee on Health as well? That is specifically within its remit.
