Good morning. I thank our guests for coming in. It is particularly important that Dr. Duffy is here as well as Dr. Conlon because we know that there is very strong, evidence-based research accompanying the recommendations and it is very helpful to have both researchers here to answer questions.

Our guests' report was presented to Cabinet on 25 April. While this committee is engaging with the report and will, in due course, and hopefully quite soon, come to conclusions on that and report to Government, I would expect there would be a parallel process involving engagement by the Department of Health with the report's authors in relation to their recommendations. Can they tell us something about that engagement?
