I want to move to digital servicers but before I do, I will go back to one question answered by Mr. Patterson about purchasing existing sites or buildings for elective hospitals. I want a bit of clarification in that regard. Mr. Patterson said it was not possible to locate buildings in Cork, Dublin and Galway. Is that what he said? That implies there was an attempt to look at it as a package. Is that correct? I presume that of those three, there would be locations in one or two of them. Is the issue that we are approaching it as a package and a proprietary taking over of a hospital?
