I am asking whether we should either buy a private hospital or lease one for a number of years until the elective hospital is built because we have great demands, consultants cannot get access to a theatre and there is not a sufficient number of beds. There is a great number of people working but they are feeling frustrated because they cannot get their lists dealt with. Can we look at that issue and at acquiring a facility in a private hospital?
