I will ask one more quick question and I will then move on to non-compliance. We are lucky with UHW. There are fights to be had about the provision of health services in Waterford. People will know well about the fight for 24-7 and the second cath lab. That has been well documented, but we are very lucky in that ours is one of the model 4 hospitals that does not have people on trolleys. It has not had people on trolleys for a long time. I know that there was an information-sharing exercise between UHW and UHL and that a team travelled down from UHW to advise on the processes. Keeping the senior decision-makers on the floor of the hospital is one of the real big things. Where did that exercise go? Were there learnings? Were there outcomes? Was there positive engagement between the two parties? Can Mr. Gloster give me a brief update on that?
