Mr Connolly: You got a letter, like anybody else.
MRS CARNELL: That is right. It is a letter from Mr Connolly saying, "Thank you very much for being part of this program". Because of the difficult situation, the particular patient has not been charged at all for the medication that we have dispensed; the pharmacy has borne the cost because, unfortunately, the patient has not held down a job and, therefore, has not been in a position to pay. The patient was also in the difficult position of unfortunately having suffered a number of "accidents" at the time and needed changes of dressings on quite a number of stitches in both the arm and the leg. The pharmacy also has not charged the patient for those. There is a bill that I am sure will never be paid. It was in excess of $300 last time I saw it. Of course, that is part of the job. I was interested in how Mr Berry could see that as a conflict of interest.
