The reason I ask the question is because we have spent a lot of time discussing the overruns with the national children's hospital, but once it is built another issue will arise, namely, the running of the hospital. Has the Department looked at the annual cost of running the national children's hospital, given the size and scale of the hospital compared with the previous version that was planned for the Mater Hospital site? Has that been budgeted in?
