I accept that, but does Mr. Reid intend on doing an analysis of that cohort of patients who were transferred? A serious allegation has been made in respect of that, and many things need to be accepted in the context of that, but surely, it makes sense to do an analysis of that cohort of patients.

We want to collect whatever data we can on deaths, whether it is from testing or fromwww.rip.ie. We want to get the best knowledge and data possible. We are still living and working through this, but gathering all the data we can to help inform ourselves will definitely be of key importance. That data will be fed into the expert group.
