Clearly, they are targets. I appreciate that Mr. Carter may not anticipate not reaching those targets. Nevertheless, they are targets and therefore a scenario does exist whereby the group may not reach them. In that event, I am keen to know what the group will cut and how that will be determined. Mr. Carter knows much better than do I that health care is not an exact science. Certain scenarios may arise. Mr. Carter brought up the issue of targets in his presentation. A scenario could exist whereby those targets are not met. If those targets are not met, how will the services to be cut be decided upon? Clearly, in that event, cuts will have to happen somewhere.
