It’s important to note that some of the management information in this publication is currently undergoing review to prepare it for routine publication, and it is possible that the metric definitions, methodologies, and reported values could be revised as a result of this process. If this is the case, this supplementary file or existing statements will not be reissued. However, any new figures used in public statements or released in the routine publications will have the underpinning data and methodology included or released as supplementary information.
