Mr. Paul Reid:

I will make a general comment and then ask my colleague to come in.

Some of our elective-only hospitals, such as Cappagh hospital and others, would not have been impacted to the same extent and are not impacted by the same demands that are on our emergency departments. We have, however, seen big impacts across the board. I will ask my colleague to comment.
