So the figure over 12 months appears to have remained static. A total of €9 million out of the €61 million is outstanding for over 12 months. Of the €74 million, about €8 million was outstanding for more than 12 months. Mr. O'Brien will appreciate that it is nothing personal but the ordinary person sees that €61 million is outstanding in terms of forms that have not been completed by consultants and that some hospitals do it within ten days. Do those days relate to providing the forms after discharge? Is that correct?
