Not entirely. This is discretionary and the industry is not required to do it. If it was mandatory, I would agree with the Deputy, but it is not. That said, this would make everything more straightforward. We will run a large campaign, led by the Health Insurance Authority, HIA, explaining the new changes to people in the early part of next year. It is much easier to explain why things will change on one day than on two different dates.
