Yes. Obviously, at that point it has to move to construction and so on.

I want to return to the point Mr. Gloster made earlier about the section 38 and section 39 entities. This is actually one of the first occasions that I have heard the HSE articulate it in that way in terms of the level of control or influence that we have or do not have over acute hospitals and many other bodies. Many of those, in particular the section 39 entities, and I am thinking of the issues with St. John of God, have difficulties with training in terms of their funding. Equally, with some of the hospitals, we had that discussion on resources versus performance or under-resourcing. The decision has been made to incorporate CHI into the HSE.
