I thank everybody for being here. I will start with the NTPF if I may. I am trying to fully understand the operation of the insourcing and how that works in reality. In her opening statement, Ms Brady referred to it as funding provided directly to public hospitals to deliver additional treatment or outpatient consultations beyond their core HSE-funded activity. What is the definition of a core funded activity in essence?
