I think the department should certainly look at what the doctors are doing and whether it is possible to have people other than doctors doing those tasks. I'm sure the department can respond more than I can, but they will tell you that they are involved in policy development and things like that. Obviously, you do need some medical professionals in those areas, but I think what we were trying to encourage was an assessment to see whether there are doctors doing tasks that could be done by others, which would then free them up to be able to do the clinical work.
