Thank you. We might leave it at that. I thank all the witnesses for their incredible insight into the collation of data and what we need to do in future. I thank the members as well. As with every meeting, we look at what we should now do on all the issues that were thrown up. First, we should make a submission to the CSO on the evidence we have got over the years on data collection and how we see the census going forward from the evidence of the lived-experience we have heard. The optional protocol comes in every day. The review of the Disability Act is something we will have to look at. Deputy Ellis made the point about forms and data. That is a separate issue we need to look at too.
I thank all the witnesses for their continued work and the information they gave us this morning. It is hugely important. We will get back to them for further clarification on issues if necessary. I thank them for their professionalism and dedication and I thank the members who, as always, are very interested in the topic. I also thank our team.
