I think your question said 'the department of health', but you're referring to the earlier disclosure on MASP?

Yes, there have been two inappropriate disclosures on the MAS Panel, as I recall it. I had a number of discussions with the secretary of Finance. Ms Wilkinson did a lot of work with the relevant area. They're dealing with these matters all the time. I was confident in my briefings with the department and with the internal investigation that was conducted that steps had been taken to make sure this wouldn't happen again. Obviously it has. That's why the inquiry by Mr Manthorpe is so important. I don't want to get ahead of that, so we'll wait for that inquiry to be held. I understand that it's only going to be a matter of weeks.
