To go back to wait times for packages, we've heard Minister Wells talk about lowering the wait times for packages to three months, which is very welcome and will no doubt be a lot of work. I think it's a really ambitious and good target to have. Could you clarify if those three months account for the time taken to have an assessment and for the services to commence. If not, realistically, from start to finish—the entire process—how long will it take someone to apply for and to receive their package in 2027 when the three-month commitment comes into play?
