Speaking as a member of the Joint Committee on Health, its extent is considerable.

According to the next paragraph in the witnesses' submission, the Government should take up the commission's work and do a deep dive on it. The Government should take the main policy options set out by the commission and do ready reckoners on them. Obviously, the Government has access to that information. Since the paper's publication, the Government and the commission have had a chequered relationship. These commissions do not happen that often, though. I presume it would be useful for the IFAC's work if the Government did a deep dive on the recommendations.
