There was a sense of frustration. I understand that all the members of NPHET are available. I do not wish to take up any more of their time. I have thanked them for coming in on numerous occasions and they have come in on numerous occasions. That is much appreciated.

The current CMO also came in, and that is noted and appreciated. There was a sense of frustration in the committee that NPHET was not available to come. We understand there are scheduling difficulties but the winding up of the committee was approaching and there did not appear to be a date. Its representatives are here today and I thank them for their attendance and for answering all of the questions put to them. I thank the Minister for coming and facilitating their attendance.
