Mr. John Pollock:
It is probably worth pointing out that the research block, which, obviously, is hugely important, is a much more modest building. We have designed it as a stand-alone building and the construction phase for that would be approximately two years. The construction phase for the main hospital is approximately four years, so there is a potential two-year lag. The research building would not actually need to start being constructed until two years after the children's hospital.
