Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Completely. I would have to say that while there might be a row about it, we will have to get better at how much we are prepared to defend our interpretation of the contract when we come to those individual instances of that significance. I cannot stress enough, however, that every consultant in the country is entitled to claim for when they are called, and we are talking about one here in this number.
The majority of consultants who come in when they are on call probably come in for one patient and see seven, and you would not see anything like this.
