I know from experience and from hearing from others that people do go to see private consultants in public hospitals. They pay the private consultant and then they are seen in the public hospital. We have to get down to the nitty-gritty of it and I do not know how we are going to do that. Everybody in this room needs to work on that. There have to be reports done on this to see where the consultants are because a lot of additional money is being spent.

How much is in the NTPF?
