Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
It is Cork University Hospital, by virtue of its being the largest hospital. Again, I do not want to minimise it, but, as Mr. O'Brien said, that does not prevent the hospital from having a budget. It is an issue of cash and cashflow, a very serious issue, and we do chase the insurers. We are chasing the insurers. As I said, we are looking to reach an agreement with them which should improve that position, but it does not have an impact on the actual budget available to provide direct hospital services in the year.
