I welcome the witnesses. A lot of the issues they highlighted have been highlighted previously by many others who have contributed. It is interesting to see that consistency. What I want to get back to is the bias. Ms Grehan mentioned the London School of Economics care policy and evaluation centre. It was female bias that was being produced through that. I am trying to discover, from the witnesses’ point of view, what is the best way to overcome that. For example, how can we identify and address disability bias while also properly collecting the information? What is the witnesses’ solution to that in terms of collecting the information safely for their organisations in order that they can influence the correct bias, let us say?
