Picking up on that point and reflecting on this whole issue, clearly the commissioning is a major project. We need to be realistic and honest with people that, yes, we might be able to shed some time off the delivery date and get some back office work done, but clearly a hospital can only be commissioned effectively when you have the keys and take it over.

My first question for the Minister is how much time, realistically, does he think it will take to go into the hospital ahead of the handover to do the commissioning-----
