I will pick up on Ms McMahon's positive point in terms of the staff right across the healthcare service. I hear what she is saying about UHL but, indeed, they do exemplary work right across our health service and we would be lost without them. They certainly go above and beyond. Ms McMahon spoke of her own experience and knowledge of UHL and I agree with her.
I missed the earlier part of the meeting as I had other business in the House. I apologise, therefore, if there is some repetition in my questions to each of the witnesses. I appreciate them coming in. It is an important conversation to have, certainly, from the bits I heard online and here in the room and from the briefing information material supplied by the witness, which is beneficial.
I have a number of questions. The campaign group was established in 2019. Is that correct?
