That does not correlate with the other information I have. I wish to come back to Mr. Morton and get a response to the different opinions on the alternative model for Dublin before the session ends. On the issue of response times, in the south east, the average response time for both delta and echo calls was 21 minutes in 2019. In 2020, it went up to 22 minutes. In 2021, it was 28 minutes and, in 2022, it was 33 minutes. I assume that the 33 minutes refer to when an ambulance arrives at somebody's door from the point of a call. Is that what that means?
