Unfortunately, we have run out of time. I think everyone sees the logic of having a digitised system. We would all agree that it is good and that we need the system, and so on. The frustrating thing that we heard this morning is that, in some cases, we are actually at the starting line, which is very worrying. I give a commitment that we will return to this. It has been suggested that we try to bring in the Secretary General of the Department of Health and the new CEO. We have a regular slot in that regard and we can possibly focus on that at our next meeting with them and at our regular meetings. It is not the case that the issue is going to go away because we have had one meeting, and we will certainly follow through on that. I thank Dr. Kennan for her time and input on this very important issue.

Unfortunately, I have to adjourn the meeting. Our next meeting is in private session at 4 p.m. next Tuesday, 31 January.
