I thank Ms Ingoldsby. The committee visited Freetown two years ago and met Ms O'Reilly there, so we wish the team there every success in its difficult mission. We also wish well Mr. Sean Hoy, our ambassador in Abuja, who accompanied us to Ghana last year. I welcome Ms Jane-Ann McKenna from MSF and Ms Sinead O'Reilly from GOAL, who are accompanying our two key witnesses today. Our two key witnesses are coming at this from two different angles - Barry Andrews, whom we all know very well, as CEO of an NGO, namely GOAL, and Dr. Gabriel Fitzpatrick, who is a medical practitioner. Both have been on the ground and have just returned from some of the affected regions, so I am sure they have stories to tell. Without further ado, I invite Mr. Andrews to make his presentation.
