I want to get to the response times. In terms of the Delta calls, which were referenced, the figures for last year are quite stark. Mr. Keeley might be able to explain why this is the case. In December 2022, the percentage of status 1 Delta incidents responded to within the 19 minutes was 19%. Going back to 2019 it was 33%. Only 19% of those Delta incidents were responded to within the standards that have set by HIQA. Why is the figure so poor for that month last year?
