What I am trying to get at is in a situation involving three hospitals, for example, does the NTPF looking for trends where core work may be being done outside of it? I am trying to get to the bottom of that. There is clearly an issue here in that there is a concern that core work may be done under NTPF-funded activity. The witnesses would accept that it would be an inefficient use of its resources, but I do not see any robust processes within the NTPF to try to spot that trend across different hospitals or procedures.
