I thank the witnesses for the submission and their contributions. I have just two questions. In his submission, Mr. Sunderland mentions that developments have been made on the release of medical information. Will the witnesses speak to that progress? We heard in earlier submissions about the restrictions surrounding access to medical information and how they gravely contravene the GDPR. Will Mr. Sunderland comment on the developments in that area?
