The previous board was building on what had been previously. The decision to build a new hospital was not made overnight. The decision to have one national paediatric hospital was made in 2006. Prior to that, a decision had been taken to build a children's hospital on the site. I have not asked what happened to all of the design work that took place prior to that, which should have had some bearing on the business services and so on. Perhaps I could get some information in that regard at this point. As I said, the previous board was not starting a process from scratch because it had available to it a great deal of work that had been done previously. Did the previous board take on board any of that work?
