I am not trying to be difficult. It is fairly straightforward. Dr. Byrne said paying upfront was not necessary. Is he telling me that he has people who do not go ahead because they cannot afford it once the assessment is carried out, and that they are then asked to pay for the assessment? They do not pay upfront but afterwards when they have decided not to go ahead.
