I will move to ask about all the submissions that were received. The whole process of making submissions was quite tricky. I had to make a submission on three separate occasions. Eventually, I saved and uploaded a Microsoft Word document. You expect when you make a submission to get a confirmation or your submission to be emailed back to you so you can see what went in. Many people believed they made a submission but are not sure if it ever made its way into the system. It was quite blunt. You just clicked and the submission disappeared from the screen. When will we get to see all of the submissions that came in? That is quite important. It is quite important that we see, in particular, the views of clinicians. We have had certain briefings in the region from clinicians. I think 1,200 submissions in total went in.
