As I have stated previously, we are taking this matter very seriously. We will respond when I have the recommendations from the department and give an appropriate response that helps the people in that site achieve the care and concern for issues that need to be addressed. The consumers are the most important thing in this topic, and it's why we should take all care to make sure we address all the issues thoroughly and not be rushed.</text>
