I thank everyone for staying with us this long. It is appreciated.
I will go back to the big picture in terms of the opening of the hospital. Not to put words in Mr. Gunning's mouth, he indicated earlier that he has little or no confidence in the contractor. I am paraphrasing there. The opening date that Ms Nugent has given us of June of next year is predicated on the handover of the hospital in September from the contractor. If we do not have a lot of confidence in the contractor, that surely opens up a big question in terms of the opening schedule for the hospital.
