I do not think it is my mobile telephone causing that interference.

This is a serious issue that is frustrating people and needs to be addressed, particularly by VHI.

What are the health insurers doing to encourage healthier lifestyles? For young people, if there were an opportunity to offset expenses such as gym membership, more of them would probably take it up.

What are the health insurers’ views on the future of universal health insurance? We are driving people off private health insurance. How are we going to get them back into it to meet the 2016 target for universal health insurance?

I have several other questions to ask, if I may Chairman.
