I believe Professor FitzGerald is right.

We have not mentioned Covid at all. Covid has put it up to us in terms of genomics across the island and how we develop and make progress on genomics, again using an all-island approach. It is astounding that we have spent so much on a national children's hospital and we do not have a dedicated genomics department or facility within it.

I am not sure whether either of the witnesses has experience in this area or done any work specifically on this. It is an area where opportunities have been presented by Covid. I will let in one of my colleagues as I have taken up enough time.
