It is different from how I see it at the moment, where a service-level agreement would evolve out of that. In fact, if it has the capacity and is in a location that meets the needs of what is required then it would be to ensure that a service-level agreement would be put in place. The funding model will still always go through the HSE, but the delivery of service could be through another provider, no different from a section 38 or section 39 organisation, where a service-level plan would be put in place to ensure that the provider meets the needs and has the capacity to deliver it. We have service-level plans in place at the moment with some groups around the country.
