I will just finish this point. This year, we are coming into a year where prices are falling. The price of medicines may not fall but interest rates will fall, please God, and energy prices are falling. We are coming into a different environment this year from what we went into last year. That is why I am saying we will do everything we can to bring the services in on budget. Where it will end up is uncertain, however, and based on price and demand.
