I will come to Ms Broderick now with my second question. I thank the Minister.

When we triage patients in the health services generally, we use what is called the Manchester triage categories. My understanding is that there are five categories, 1 to 5, with 1 being the most urgent and 5 the least urgent. My understanding is that categories 1, 2, 3 are the main ones. Patients in categories 4 and 5 can be referred elsewhere, but 1, 2 and 3 are the main, urgent category patients. Is that a correct analysis?
