I am aware of that, and, again, I have discussed it with the digital team. Apparently, there were two fail-safes that failed, so, by definition, they are not fail-safes. The only assurance that I can give people is that, while it is unacceptable that that happened, those were referrals that were rejected by consultants. So, no physical harm was done. Obviously, if you are waiting for the result of your referral, and it is assumed that your GP has that information, that is not an acceptable situation. Work is ongoing to investigate the matter, but there were failures in the process. I accept that and apologise for it.
