Also from 1975 onwards and then as Tasmania started to build a level of workforce, it obviously calibrated.  But it's still something that I think a national solution where there are, again, still maximizing the value of telehealth.  There are a number of Melbourne epileptologists that still again do a lot of telehealth down here.  We aren't privy to that those data sets to the level that we would like to.  So I think from a data perspective as too, I would hope that maybe out of this inquiry too that ESA could work strongly more strongly with the community organizations in sharing data. 

Particularly there's often been representations where perhaps data can't be shared, but we would like to think that there would be great benefits of de-identified data being shared from neurologists, epileptologists more freely across the seven community organizations.
