The only change was around salary and conditions. Is that not too long a timeframe given the sensitivity and urgency of this position? I accept that is the role of the Public Appointments Service and not Mr. Griffin. Given the national and international emphasis following the cyberattack on our health system and, potentially, as mentioned by Mr. Griffin, 3,000 attacks last year and, potentially, an increase on that this year, I would have thought the process of filling a position of that importance, as well as the recruitment of the other staff to bulk up this extremely important centre, would have commenced the day after the position was declined by the other person. Would Mr. Griffin agree?
