Might I suggest, if it is not too cheeky, that our witnesses take the advice we were given and factor that into their considerations? Public health advice is public health advice and if it applies here, it applies everywhere. I know that nobody, least of all our witnesses, would want a situation whereby we had a different set of rules from anyone else because every worker deserves protection, even a politician.

I refer to the 200 complaints that were made. People have contacted me and they are very frustrated. They have made complaints, and they describe doing so as screaming into a void. They do not know what follow up, if any, is being done. I know 80 inspections took place yesterday and I would be interested in knowing how many are planned for the rest of the week. Can the HSA sustain that level of inspection? I am not sure if, in the normal course of things, a figure of 80 inspections means everybody is making their best effort or is a normal day. What happened to the 200 complaints made?
