I am sorry about that. We are ten minutes over time. I thank everyone for coming in. The committee will get back to the witnesses soon with a proposal for them to come back before the committee to go through the issues that were not dealt with this morning, and some of the issues raised about which some members were not happy with the responses they received. I thank all guests here.

I also take on board what Deputy Durkan said about the past two years being a difficult time, and there still are many challenges in healthcare when dealing with Covid and all the other challenges that are present. Again, I thank everyone for their contributions.

We received a message from the Chief Medical Officer that, unfortunately, he was not aware of our request for him to come before the committee. I think there was a communications error. He is available to come in and he will try to come before us tomorrow. The clerk to the committee will come back to us in the coming hours.
