My answer is we have no role in the children's hospital project. The chairman can deal with the other question.

On construction inflation, costs have gone up by 3.95% nationally. This will have an impact when we price a job. For example, on a scheme we announced some time ago we saw that because of inflation some extra funding might be required. My apologies - I think I am reading it in error as the rate is 12%.
