No, that is not my question. Last week, the health committee heard about the digital strategy for the national children's hospital - I have received this information a number of times through parliamentary questions - and how the hospital would be incredible and high-tech. However, I noticed in the capital funding figures that we are meant to be discussing at this meeting, that it is not necessarily clear what spending has been assigned to that. It is my understanding that that kind of spending will not go to the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board, NPHDB. Rather, that particular part of commissioning, which is more digital, will go to Children's Health Ireland, CHI. Is that correct?
