Mr. Jermyn hit my question on the head when he said that an element of his job was the university hospital and another element of his job was the private side of the group. That is my problem in a nutshell, namely, that an element of his job is now running a public hospital, or the public element of the hospital. I do not wish to put words in Mr. O'Brien's mouth but when I had an exchange with him on 20 December, his view was that Mr. Jermyn was paid to be the full-time chief executive of the university hospital. It is now an element of his job.
