I have a question for Dr. Day. We could get into the rights and wrongs of the involvement of faith-based organisations in healthcare delivery but we would be here all day. Faith-based organisations are currently involved in 14 hospitals. Some would say that is 14 too many but the expectation is that the figure will eventually fall to four. Does Dr. Day have a timeline for achieving that reduction? Can she indicate where and how it will happen? Is there a specific plan in place with a timeline or is her view based on a sense of how this will be done?
