Before she comes in, I will make a point. Everything the Minister says conflicts with the fact sheet from the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group. The Minister says we own the land but the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group says that it owns the land. The Minister asks what interest the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group has but it says that it has an interest in it. The St. Vincent's Healthcare Group asks why it requires ownership of the land and it says that land ownership is essential to ensure the ongoing provision of the best possible care for patients attending St. Vincent's University Hospital and the national maternity hospital. That is not what the Minister says and it says something different. The Minister says land ownership is irrelevant but the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group says it is very relevant. Why does it have this continued interest in it?
