The witnesses are getting off lightly and do not need to respond to Deputy Bailey. That concludes today's session. We are almost bang on time. I thank the witnesses for interacting with the committee. Many very interesting ideas have been raised. We will write to the Department with some of the committee's ideas on the report structure and ways of reporting as an input into developing the report for future years.

I echo some of the comments made by previous speakers. The report is very good but more can be done, particularly in the forecasting of trends across different years and being able to look back and forward to really get an idea of where we are going. Much can be achieved in doing that.
