Consultation with expert clinicians, with those across the medical sector that do have the expertise in these areas has been absolutely at the forefront, so I can certainly assure the senator that that consultation with that high-level clinical expertise has indeed been integral to the ongoing nature of this process. I can indeed indicate to the senator that that high-level consultation will, of course, be presented through the recommendations to the minister in due course. While I seem at risk of repeating myself, it is not appropriate to the preempt the outcome of that review. We need to let it take its course, let it be well-informed, let the consultation happen with the experts and with the clinicians, and await those final recommendations from the MBS Review Taskforce.
