In the interests of being concise, I did my best to answer the member’s question with one word. To me, no to the first part of his question means no. Mr M.F. Board: But we were told they were. Mr J.A. McGINTY: Four recommendations which required legislative change and which did not go to clinical practice at the hospital have not been implemented. That is the answer to the question.
