I welcome Mr. Woods, Mr. Flanagan and Dr. Martin. My first question relates to the reimbursement process. As Mr. Woods is aware, that issue was discussed earlier. In 2018, the committee recommended that there be a review into Ireland's reimbursement process. My understanding is that Mazars conducted that review but it has not been published. It is important that the report be published. Is there a timescale for its publication? It is important for all of us, including those in opposition and members of the committee, to be informed as to the recommendations that were made, what the thinking is, how the system can be improved and so on. It is frustrating that it has not yet been published. I assume it is a matter for ministerial decision. Can our guests provide a sense of when that will happen?
