Mr. Tony O'Brien:
All those items are essentially paid through PCRS on our behalf. PCRS is prompt payment compliant so we take it that they are paying within 30 days. Some of the manufacturers would also be supplying individual hospitals. We know from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report that some of the hospitals are not fully 30-day compliant. Typically, it would be 30 days.
