Following on from the previous set of questions, the key issue is that the extra money required for the national children's hospital has, if I understand Mr. Desmond correctly, delayed the publication of the capital plan. Presumably, that is because it impacts on other parts of that plan and the Department is trying to figure out how much extra money it will get from the Government and then cover the shortfall. Consequently, the Department is trying to figure out how it will impact on other capital projects. Am I right? If it will have such an impact, will Mr. Desmond indicate what projects will be affected?
