I have a brief supplementary question. The witness said the association has not had cause to collect the information but we are talking about issues around value for money and comparison, the cost of overnight stays and the cost of care. That information has not been provided to the HSE so it would not form part of any service level agreement or anything like that with the HSE. That is no reflection on the association because clearly if the HSE is not asking for the information, it is a reflection on the HSE.
