I thank all the witnesses for their work, particularly in terms of ending homelessness for children, reforming CAMHS or the mental services and on school places for everybody. There were two pieces of legislation I wanted to ask about, one of which concerns the ombudsman's own office, namely, the Ombudsman for Children Act 2002. I also want to ask about the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act 2022. I might start with the legislation that concerns the ombudsman's work. There was a review of the Act. Is Dr. Muldoon aware of a proposal to amend the Act in line with the recommendations and does he have any comments on that?
