I think Senator Griff raises a very good point here, actually, indicating why it has been so appropriate to do the review of these MBS items. He, of course, indicates that those injections can now be subcutaneous, which I think reflects a lot of the changes we have seen over recent times when it comes to those items that are on the MBS. So the task force, of course, will carefully consider all of the evidence and all of the input gathered from the consultations, before finalising any recommendations to the government. I am very confident that that has been a very thorough process. Indeed the consultation has been very widespread, and I am sure that the recommendations will be very well informed. But I again indicate to the senator that we do need to wait for the process to conclude.
