It is a regular conversation we have. There is a requirement to outsource several of the day case procedures, especially because we are coming into a time of additional winter pressures in our hospitals. This is relevant for public hospitals that do not have emergency departments, the hospital in Cappagh being the obvious one. It could apply to some of the smaller model hospitals the Chairman referred to, as well as others.

We are actively discussing insourcing in terms of building on it further for 2018. I am sure there were other questions.
