I want to go back to the TB issue and the progress that can be made over the next decade. Almost €1 billion will be spent between 2021 and 2030. What can we do to make better progress? Is there a clear plan set out by the Department to improve testing and address the issue of genomics and other relevant issues? On the basis of the scientific evidence that is now there, what is the Department proposing to do to reduce expenditure in this area?
