No. We expect the contract to be fulfilled and the project to be delivered. The hospital development board and the Department of Health are managing that on a day-to-day basis. We have remained in close contact with the Department of Health and I have engaged and corresponded on the issue on a regular basis. I have been informed that there will be an update given shortly by the hospital development board to the Minister for Health and then to me. That will be shared with the Government. That is the up-to-the-minute position. It is not for me to give an estimate of a change in a figure because I do not have a basis for giving such an estimate. The figure that is on the public record is the very same figure I have and I have no basis for changing it.
