I think we would all like to see more North-South co-operation. I will move now to the issue of waiting lists. We are dealing with significantly different cohorts across multiple waiting lists. Some people have been referred by a GP, for example, and then we have some people who are experiencing a very specific health crisis. We have talked about it being a matter of days in some cases but years in others. I acknowledge Professor McAdam's point that gender-specific information is not available. If a woman goes to a GP because she feels unwell and the GP has a concern about her cardiac care and refers her for diagnostic testing, what is the average waiting time?
