We will move on, but it is deeply unsatisfactory. We schedule our meetings to get the best return we can for the people who listen to the proceedings of the committee. The purpose of having committee meetings is that people can be held to account and to ensure there is accountability and transparency on projects. We were fair in giving as much time as possible for members of the board to come back before the committee. It is eight months since they were last before the committee and the update we have received is far from satisfactory. It just shows that the saga of building this hospital goes from one mess to the next, as far as I am concerned. I will leave it at that.
