But if the NTPF is treating the patients, what are our hospitals doing? That is what I do not get. Why is there such an increase? Why are the hospitals not doing the work? That is what I do not get. The amount of income that has been spent under that fund is threefold what it was. I am just wondering why. How was it happening in our hospitals back in 2019, and in 2024 it is the NTPF that is receiving such a significant amount of income towards patient care?
