Exactly. We are finding out here that there has been no impact on patients, so nothing has been cut. Given the fact that the hospital groups have to meet these targets, it would be interesting if the committee could obtain a breakdown over the year of the income derived from private patients. From anecdotal evidence, I am concerned that there is a spike in private income coming towards the end of the year because of the need to meet these targets. Can we get that information?
