Thank you very much. I'm now going to move to wrap things up and inviting the two leads in. It will be about three minutes each, with a question and to include a supplementary. I just want to deal with some matters first, Ms Burke, before I do. You seem to be consistent in your answering this afternoon that by 2006, regardless of the number of staff and other resources that might've been available to you ... that it may have been too late at that stage. Could you maybe indicate to us as to when would have been the optimum period to actually have made an intervention and what would have been the interventions that you would have put foremost to your mind at that time?
