That is fair enough. I presume the HSE and Mr. O'Brien, if he is the appropriate person in the HSE, given the current controversy with St. Vincent's, and bearing in mind their previous letters of 29 October and 19 November 2013, this did not happen overnight, telling him where to go, that given the service level agreement, given the fact that these people have "lawyered up" on the issue, that the HSE or the Department of Health, perhaps, have also received legal advice on the sureness of Mr. O'Brien's position in pursuing this matter with St. Vincent's. Am I right or wrong in thinking that?
