I apologise, but I only have a short time remaining and I want to make a final comment before Mr. Hourihan's colleague contributes. In the health services generally, a great deal of catch-up care will be needed, given that a considerable amount of non-essential care was paused. In dental and orthodontic services in the public system, there was a pause for a significant number of months. The figure for the number of appointments from March to the end of May in 2019 was 45,924. For the same dates in 2020, the figure was 3,161. That is a large decrease, and I imagine it will carry over into this year. My time is short, but I would appreciate it if Mr. Hourihan or his colleague addressed this point. Alongside all of the other problems we have just discussed, there will be catching up to do.
