Could Mr. Egan outline what that looks like for me? I am sorry to be a bit naive about it. Could Mr. Egan explain to me what that looks like on the ground when the inspector walks into a hospital and wants to look at procurement? I am presuming that even on things that are low risk - Mr. Egan has said that procurement is not low risk - just to understand or evaluate the risk level one would have to be doing fairly intermittent inspections that are a deeper dive essentially. I am just trying to understand, when HIQA walks into a hospital, what actions it is taking.
