I will keep my comments very brief because there are a lot of experts in the room and we want to hear from them.

Like we did on the previous occasion the delegation was before the committee, we remember Professor Paddy Johnson and the key role he played in the signing of the memorandum of understanding, MOU. Every time we discuss this matter, we will remember and acknowledge the huge role he played. It is wonderful to see how the MOU has evolved, even since the delegation has been here. I have read all of the presentations and everything else. On behalf of the entire population across the island, I thank the institute for the magnificent work it does. Many other disciplines should look at what the institute is doing.

I want to discuss the impact of the more than 1 million cancer diagnoses missed because of Covid. How does the institute plan to address this matter?
