I thank Professor Kelleher. It is important now that we look like being on the cusp of a second wave, regrettably, that all those recommendations are in place with regard to immediate concerns.

Regarding longer-term policy changes that are so badly needed, is she satisfied that a mechanism is in place to implement the recommendations the expert panel is making or does it have further recommendations to make in terms of what needs to happen?
