I thank the Chairman and reiterate his comments in terms of thanking our guests for the fantastic work they are doing on all our behalf. I have a couple of questions for Mr. Woods and then a couple for Dr. Glynn. I will start with Mr. Woods. I can only imagine it is worrying from his perspective that 6,000 staff in the acute hospitals are out sick at the moment. I imagine the vast majority of them are out with Covid-19, either self-isolating or with Covid-19 itself. Has the HSE done any work or analysis on the outbreaks of Covid-19 in the acute hospitals? Has it carried out analysis as to how it is getting in so readily at this stage? Has Mr. Woods figures to hand of patients who present to the acute hospitals with non-Covid conditions who are actually contracting Covid-19 within the hospital setting?
