Yes, I would agree, because the whole system is under pressure. We could all do with far more time to deal with patients, and, once I’ve decided that I am going to refer a patient elsewhere, I want that patient to be seen, because what happens if you have to wait six months is that you go back to that GP, who’s already under enough pressure, and we can’t make any alternative provision. That’s why we have to tackle waiting times and employ more people in this area. Thank you.
