I'm the minister responsible for the DTA, so obviously I come at this from that point of view as well and I have asked the DTA—and department of health is aware of this—to work closely with health, on all of their projects, mindful of some of the assessments from the DTA and some of the reports you cite. So yes.

As I said, I am not diminishing the risks or the challenges, but the advice I've been provided is that the system will be functional and ready to go on 1 July 2025. I look forward to standing here and welcoming that when that happens. We are not diminishing it.

Part of the risk rating and risk assessments from both health's point of view and the DTA, and I am not seeking to shift any responsibility here, is getting the legislation finalised. Again, I am not having a go at that point, but that has contributed to some of the reviews and assessments of whether this can be done.
