Okay. On insourcing, I thank the officials for setting out the detail today. I hear an ambiguity with regard to the June 2026 deadline. I want to understand a bit more about the impact on the capacity in the system. Mr. Gloster's document refers to an outer risk of 4%. Is he saying there will be 4% less capacity made available to the HSE because of the initiative it has now taken in terms of tightening the availability of insourcing? What does that 4% refer to?
