Minister, you have been talking about the excellent work that Encompass does. However, the regional Encompass team recently wrote to GPs expressing concerns that some 12,000 red-flag letters and other pieces of correspondence seem to have gone missing from the system. GPs are very rightly concerned that they are not getting the appropriate feedback from Encompass about their patients. That is a matter of serious concern. I have a letter from a GP complaining about 12,000 letters, some of which are red-flagged and some of which are downgrades, and they simply have not got them.
