On that point, I mentioned that it is now taking 1,000 days on average to sign off on quite a large number of drugs, which are for a small number of people.

How do the witnesses recommend dealing with that issue? I have been a member of the committee for several years and I recall discussing this issue with Ms Daly previously. It seems that no progress has been made on it in the past five years. What should the committee do regarding this issue?
