I thank the Deputy. We have had a very wide-ranging discussion. There are common trends in many of the questions and the presentations. I assure everybody here - it is universal within the committee - that we want to effect the changes the witnesses seek. That is our determination. To echo what Deputy Robert Troy said, we will all work together in that respect.

To answer the questions, I will take it in reverse order starting with Dr. Kennedy, if she wishes to respond. I happy with whatever way the delegates would like to respond. I was very conscious of all of the contributions.
