I have two questions on future issues. One is the intention to appoint a new chair. Are discussions going on about this? Will he or she be an interim chair? Is there a decision to have a full-time or part-time chair in place? When will that appointment be made?

My second point is on the bigger-picture issue. When does the Minister intend to bring a paper to the Cabinet regarding the future funding model?
