Mr. Barry O'Brien:

I wrote that letter. It was written in the context of seeking a declaration. What I said was that the group could tell me the information relating to what the group was paying without breaching the contractual arrangements that the group had, and I asked whether the group could please inform me of that. There is another sentence attached to that letter which is of great significance. It was not to say that the group may not have further decisions. The letter said that when the group declares what it has, then, depending on that information, there may be further issues, in respect of which we will consult with the group and the Department of Health on actions that the group may have to take. It is important to have that in context.
