I would like Mr. Tierney to come in on the Deputy's earlier questions but I would also like Mr. O'Connor to give his perspective on the co-operation of the voluntary hospitals with, for example, the productivity dashboard. The purpose of Bill is to make sure there is no ambiguity regarding the sharing of information about the patient. That applies to all things. It is necessary that the voluntary hospitals implement this. For example, the integrated financial management system, IFMS, is already an essential part in making non-pay savings. I expect to see the voluntary hospitals do that enthusiastically where that has not yet been done. I would expect them to co-operate with this as well because they are being paid for by the State.
