Again they are just vague responses. I want to move on because I am running out of time. It concerns new consultant contract. It is very welcome that there has been such a large uptake of it in spite of the committee being told initially that nobody would be interested in it. It is a very attractive contract. We have 272 new consultants at this point. There will be a further 921 who have transitioned to the contract. With regard to the 921 consultants who have transitioned is it not the case then that we will get an extra 20% of those consultants' time? Is that part and parcel of the new contract?
