Mr. Michael Cullen:

To be quite honest, no. In all sales and supplies, it is obviously a competitive business. As I said earlier, a great deal of the product we purchase is governed by clinician choice, and therefore it is rare that two or three companies are selling the exact same product. That makes it easier to purchase, but more difficult to negotiate. If somebody has exclusivity on a particular product that a surgeon wishes to use, it makes it difficult. However, we always get alternative quotes.

I do not believe there is a culture of inducement. I have not seen it and it has just added to the disappointment we had when we all watched "Prime Time" a couple of weeks ago.
