Thank you. I'm just getting some wise counsel before I jump to my feet. On the quality-of-care principles, an exposure draft of the amendments to the quality-of-care principles is expected to be made publicly available imminently, so very soon. Publication is intended to assist with sector preparedness and is also aimed to alleviate any concerns regarding the proposed immunity provision, as it will confirm how the immunity is proposed to be limited. In relation to the of subordinate decision-makers in the quality-of-care principles, the answer there is the same: it will be released very soon. I can talk a bit about the hierarchy of decision-makers, if you want, but the answer to your question is: very soon.
