I thank all of our guests for their comprehensive submissions. I signalled first because questions to the Minster for Health are be to taken at 10.30 a.m. and I will have to excuse myself early, for which I apologise. I will not be present for the group photo.

I would like to explore the in camera rule mentioned by Dr. Burns. I raised this issue with some of our other guests. I am trying to ascertain their ideas about how we can reform and update the rule. In his submission Dr. Burns mentioned the problems presented by contempt of court rules. Would he like to suggest any specific reform proposal to the committee? Is there a model he would like to see updated?
