The response is to improve efficiency in accessing assessments, which is what this single assessment stream—I'll just see if there's anything else—and implementing that will do to drive efficiency in the assessment process. The goal of that would be to reduce time. Is there anything else I can add? I can give you some information, which you may be aware of, in terms of the service standard, which is 10 days for assessment for high priority and 40 days for low-priority assessment. You could take from that the end-to-end period you were after.
