I want to thank everybody. I know we are into our fifth or sixth hour here and I know the witnesses are dealing with this issue at the same time, so I want to thank them all for their time. It is appreciated.

I refer specifically to the women being supported. The HSE data on Monday, indicated that about two in every five women looking for a return call had yet to receive one. Could the witnesses give us a quick update on how many of the women who have requested a callback are still waiting for one, how long they have now been waiting, and when we are going to have this resolved?
