That is the date we are working towards.

I want to come back to the claims issue now. I am not sure if Mr. Tierney or Mr. Gunning can answer this. There are 989 claims still outstanding, in whatever form they are outstanding, and there may well be more High Court challenges as well. As Mr. Gunning articulated earlier, there is a suspension of the process of dealing with those claims. Do all of those claims have to be completely done and dusted before the handover or is it possible that there will be outstanding claims even after the hospital is handed over?
