I suspect, as the Minister must do himself, that that has a lot do with Covid. My concern is around the complaints that were referred and not followed up. The Minister said that when the HSA goes in inspect, it inspects a range of issues but does he have the figures to back that up? There were 7,400 workplace inspections. Arising out of those, has he heard from the HSA specifically that other breaches were detected or was it simply the case that they were there to look at Covid? They could have looked at something else but there was not something else there. Are those figures interrogated by the Department?
