Mr. Tony O'Brien:
Its significance will be greater and the benefits of bringing down the overall number of days will be greater than next year because of the fiscal environment. It relates to the conversation we had earlier on the new fiscal treaty and the impact it has had. Those hospitals that manage down their number of debtor days, either through the national negotiations or through local action, will see direct benefit as a result but conversely there will be a significant negative impact if they do not.
