The acting thinks it might be too late. In fairness to the Minister for Health, he said that he and the acting chief medical officer would be available next week. We can discuss other witnesses later rather than taking up time now. I agree, however, that we must give people adequate notice, particularly at this time. On that, I thank the secretariat for organising today's meeting at very short notice. I particularly thank Mr Tom Malone and Ms Éilis Fallon. It is greatly appreciated. We will move on to our witnesses, if that is okay with members.
