Ms Elizabeth Adams:
The Deputy is absolutely right. When we originally were drafting this, we were not sure whether or not there would be a requirement to have a separate list for reporting incidents out as opposed to when we brought in the mandatory open disclosure. We are now in the position that we are clear that it is the one list whether one is to report out those mandatory open disclosures. We needed to get some advice on drafting and how that would go, and then what the Minister could do. It is clearly one list.
