I am not getting into the detail of that. I am just saying there is outstanding information and we will be returning to this. I will start with Mr Watt's opening statement. He makes seven categorical points. I am interested in points 6 and 7, where he states:

There is no evidence the Department of Health sought updates or reports on plaintiffs directly from schools or the Department of Education. There is no evidence the Department of Health sought clinical reports on plaintiffs directly from clinicians.

Would both of those statements be true if they said "directly or indirectly" instead of "directly"?
