I thank our guests for their submissions. I have particularly noted three phrases used so far, namely, the references to mitigating the deficit, re-profiling and making interventions. All of those phrases mean the same thing, which is cuts. That is what they mean to people who will not get the service. Whether that is a service that was expected and not delivered or an actual cut, the net effect on the people who need the services is the same.
I refer to a letter that was sent by Mr. Desmond on 11 April 2019 in which he makes reference to the savings measurement plan of 31 March 2019 and the monitoring groups. I had a look for those reports and could not find them. Are they published and, if so, where will I find them? Forgive me if they are available but I could not find them.
