A lot of what I was going to say has already been said. Professor Mark Ferguson came before the committee and gave us his report. We saw this as a possible solution, in combination with the digital green certificate. I accept what is being said with regard to event systems. Dr. Power talked about dealing with the sensitivity difficulties with PCR testing and about testing twice over a 48-hour period. She was obviously talking about something carried out by professionals rather than self-testing. How does she see that working?

Another fear I have relates to the digital green certificate. I believe I already know the answer but have any testing companies been contacted by the State, which has responsibility for putting together a paper version of this certificate or an app? I have a secondary question, which is probably appropriate for Mr. Osman. What he operates could probably form a template for a digital green certificate app, as it is not a vastly different idea. My fear is that, as often happens with Government, there will be a long drawn out procurement process and that the app will not be ready for delivery when it is needed. Perhaps Dr. Power will answer first.
