I do not believe anyone is questioning it. I think that is putting words in people's mouths. Our job, as legislators, is to ask questions, including of the Minister. He is the one who is signing off on the deal on behalf of the State. It is only fair and appropriate that we do our job and ask him questions. I do not believe I have cast any aspersions on St. Vincent's Healthcare Group and it is unfair to state that has been done. Reasonable questions are being asked on this, either as a visceral response in respect of who or what owns this or because people are unclear as to the structure, format and lease of it. Those are reasonable and fair questions and it is unfair to cast aspersions on people that it is a reflection on provision or healthcare or anything like that.

May I ask a final question?
