I thank the witnesses for their responses. I have a question now that I will pose to all the witnesses. Will they describe the level of engagement their organisations have had and if that has been with NPHET or line Departments? When did that engagement start for each organisation, by what means is it ongoing and how regular is contact? Do the witnesses have any thoughts regarding how engagement could be improved? My motivation in asking this question is not to catch out any organisation, NPHET or a Department. I ask from a genuine desire to understand what kind of communication has been taking place and at what level, and how satisfied the organisations present are with the process.
