Okay. When the budgeting for those health care centres was under way, obviously a decision was made in terms of the capital allocation for it, which was, quite correctly, the call of the Minister. The decision making around which centres might be built was clearly taken on by the Minister. In terms of the Department's internal management, I presume there is a paper trail or documentation of the unfolding process of identification of the 20 sites and the addition of the 15. I have the broad assumption that both the Department and the HSE would have been involved in that.
