That report will go to the independent panel, all of whom are practitioners under the 1978 Act. We know that traditional medics, if I can call them that, do not have high regard for the alternative way of doing business. A person would be foolish if he or she did not have someone from what I would broadly call Senator Henry's branch of the profession. I am not being funny when I say that. I doubt if many people will come with non-qualified medical expertise, but if they do, that will go to the independent panel for assessment.
