The CSO's annual report from 2017 contains a very big appendix with all the timelines of the different reports. One part refers to "System Health Accounts". If the witnesses do not have the answer now, they can send it on to the committee. There is a timescale of a year and a half, or 78 weeks. What are those statistics and why does it take a year and a half to get them? Surely the CSO should be more worried about that.
