I thank the Minister of State and will not press the amendments. What I had in mind is a large single hospital. The unease is not about its medical functions which are widely supported by Senator John Crown and others but the last time we built a huge hospital what did the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Minister of State's predecessors on the Committee of Public Accounts say and to feed it in. I appreciate what the Minister of State has said. It is important that we do not make the same mistakes. If there is a body of expertise which has observed in dealing with the X, Y, Z supplier of services that it did not work on a previous project, it will be a marker or else we will make the same mistakes which we cannot afford at this stage.
