I have lost ten seconds. I thank the witnesses for attending the meeting today and for their submissions and statements. My first question is for Mr. Dolan. His submission dated 29 June is very detailed and interesting and I thank him for it. He mentioned that a number of staff from the organisations were redeployed to other Covid-19 related services. How many staff were redeployed to tasks such as contact tracing? Furthermore, is there any indication of when they will return? What impact has their redeployment had on the delivery of front-line services by the organisations?
