I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing the debate on such an important topic. She may well be about to come on to this point, but does she agree that one of the most disturbing findings of the research was that the lack of specialist care that she so eloquently describes led to a 20 to 30 per cent. wrong diagnosis of epilepsy? Not only are resources removed from services that should go to people who have epilepsy, but that is poor value for money for the taxpayer.
