Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Looking at the situation year on year, it is because the hospitals entered the year with 850 delayed discharges and that figure was unchanged for almost three months. By virtue of that, the overall number of days accounted for by delayed discharges in our system this year will be higher than in previous years.
