In short, and for the information of members, the Minister might just confirm, arising from the minute of 30 October 2020, that the suggestion on this presumably came to him from the Minister for Health and that this triggered the meeting we are speaking about in October. How did the selection process for the interim Secretary General of the Department of Health work? Who approached Mr. Watt? Was there an interview process? Very quickly, will the Minister put this in context for me?
