Mr. Tony O'Brien:
No, that is not correct. What the letter goes on to say is that in accordance with the provisions of the previous service agreement, that agreement had been extended. The reason for that was that this again coincides with the period of time when lots of things were being uncovered about pay in the Central Remedial Clinic and so on and we took a decision to strengthen the service arrangements. In order to not renew, in terms of issuing new documentation until we changed it, we exercised a valid option simply to extend the validity period of the previous agreement.
