Thank you, Chair. The witnesses are all very welcome. It is the first time we have had a full panel of females, which is great to see. The best of luck to all the witnesses in their roles. I am concerned about the employees when the hospitals come together. Obviously, the contracts they will have are going to be very different. Do the witnesses envisage that there will be a problem with this? I also note that the Bill states that existing employees will be placed on the voluntary hospitals superannuation scheme. Will this be comparable to what they are on at the moment?
