We can always keep an open mind on these things. I know there was a lot of talk, for example, about an elective-only hospital for Limerick in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, UPMC.

UHL is now in the middle of a very substantial increase in its capacity regarding beds and other services. The Senator will be aware that we are rapidly deploying a new elective hub to the hospital areas well. This will make a big difference
