I welcome Mr. Downey and wish him well in his new role. Senator Burke has covered the question I was going to ask. Following on from that, Mr. Downey mentioned the VHI home care service and the treatment of 3,000 patients, saving 40,000 hospital day beds. Could he outline the nature of those services?
