Mr. John Connaghan:

The root of this is in our incident management framework launched in 2018. When we say "rapid," we mean "immediate". It is not optional but a requirement in the framework. We made that quite clear. Certain things need to happen within the first 24 hours and within the first week. The first 24 hours include a rapid assessment. There is guidance in the incident management framework, which is available. A number of people have been trained in this now. More than 1,200 staff have been trained.
