A number of Deputies have asked about the reopening and the pathway out of this. We have talked a little about businesses and sport. One of the areas around which I have received the most correspondence is maternity care and access to services during pregnancy and birth and labour. I am aware that hospitals are obviously a nucleus of activity when we are talking about a pandemic. I am not, therefore, asking for a date or anything. In terms of a roll-out when we see things reopening, however, at what stage does Dr. Glynn expect to see more free and available access to hospital services and the reopening of those kinds of facilities as part of the general opening up?
