Reading the notes I have here now and last night, there are 127 entities. We have no definition of what they should be. We have not looked at whether they are fulfilling what we set out for them to fulfil in 2008. We do not know whether they are achieving what we set out for them to achieve. I am very concerned that we would continue going down a certain pathway. That is fairly clear from what I have said. Mr. Sullivan said the models would be sufficiently flexible. If 14 are PPP-based, what is the flexibility there? A developer builds the site and leases it to us. Is that how it works? It is a 25-year lease. Who owns the staff? Are they HSE staff? They are.
