I thank Mr. Gunning for that. We keep going around the end point and when the hospital will be opened. As has been mentioned previously in the committee, this is taxpayers' money and the public has a vested interest in when the hospital will open. I think the public may be coming to the end of its tether hearing about the extraordinary cost of this with no end point in sight. Mr. Gunning has said that because he does not have the programme from the contractor, he is not exactly sure when the end point will be. What actions will he take to rectify this situation? I understand the complexity of building a project of this scale and that it is somewhat of a moveable feast. What actions will he take with the contractor to get to this end point? What will he do so that when he comes back here in January, we are not all grilling him again over when it will be done? What actions will he take to try to get this project to completion?
