The question I asked was very clear. I asked specifically about the prospect of a dedicated doctor running this service, not a doctor who is also running a busy GP practice. This is an outrage. The situation was brought to my attention by health care professionals in the midlands area. I do not wish to annoy the Minister of State or cause her any grief. I understand we are in financially constrained times. That is the reason I specifically asked about the cost of the ad hoc service. A dedicated person looking after the service, for which the professions are crying out, would provide a better organised service, through which people would be looked after better. I ask the Minister of State to get back to me with the relevant figures.
