Yes, I am conscious of that, Chairperson. Finally, on that, as soon as a decision is made, it will have to be actioned as a matter of urgency. That is where a team will need to be put in place very quickly. I hope we can have an engagement post Christmas on the implementation of the Minister's decision.

On the second 96-bed block, I have been on this committee for two terms and I remember when the 60-bed modular unit was announced and then when the 96-bed block was announced. After a long time, we now have the 96-bed block. The decision to do the commissioning work for the second 96-bed block in order to cut time was extremely wise and intuitive and, I think, has made a difference. What worries me, however, is that we are told that the next 96-bed block, which is committed to, will be delivered at the end of 2029, in quarter 4 of 2029. Is there any possibility of escalating that and getting the delivery date maybe to the end of 2028?
