Is that based on there being a quick turnaround time though? I can see the issues with this because dealing with all these hospitals will be a logistical issue, but if this process were to go on for a long time, for whatever reason - it would not necessarily be anyone's fault - we could have a mythical licensing system with the bulk of the hospitals operating outside it. Was any thought given to trying to lock down this process in some way to ensure that it does not run on for years? People will not intend it to run on for years, but in real life sometimes that happens.
