My other colleagues will have questions on this. I have a couple of other questions specifically on capital appraisal and the process by which it is done. In previous correspondence to the committee, No. R1364, document 33, dated May 2022, the process by which capital appraisal is done was outlined to us in great detail. This level of detail was very helpful because I have asked a number of questions on this in the past. These related to specific projects throughout the country and in my constituency where there was no political intervention, which to me is a good thing. As regards the actual appraisal process, my questions are for Mr. Reid. There is no need for him to go through it all as members have it in front of them. Obviously there is conversation with the Department. At the end of the day, I take it that the appraisal process is as outlined. It goes through the various processes, which appear strenuous and I welcome that, and is then approved by the HSE board and presented to the Minster. Is that correct?
