I am talking about a date, roughly.

The other point to be made here is that spinal surgery can be incredibly complex. The international best practice on this indicates that quality is achieved through specialisation. My advice is that the Irish spinal surgery system is actually generalist in nature, so the culture in spinal surgery training is that you need to do everything. To what extent has this led to the crisis?
