I welcome the witnesses. It is important to note that there are multiple examples of shared campuses for different purposes, including health and other services, where there would be a management company that deals with the interface issues. In Texas there is an example of multiple hospitals sharing the same campus but they are all independent facilities. I cannot help thinking that when you look at all the detail involved in this and while there are many concerns, what this boils down is an issue of land value. There is no getting away from that.

I have a number of questions for Mr. Menton. In 2020, SVHG had total liabilities of €450 million. Of that, more than €370 million was long-term debt. Is that not the case?
