I am trying to deconstruct that in my brain. The point Ms Clarke is making, with which Ms Duggan agrees, is that all of this information is available anyway. The question for this committee is what we do now. I respectfully suggest that we direct this very specific and current issue to the Minister and departmental officials. We should point out that they have this information and should analyse it themselves. They sought this information already and we should ask why they are putting an extra burden on the providers.
