We will see if it happens in four weeks. I wish to move on to elective-only hospitals. There does not seem to be a clear timeframe. Mr. Watt spoke about finalised design changes and expediting the process. We were told there would be a step-change in how we can deliver on big infrastructural projects in healthcare.

It is frustrating for us again that we do not seem to have clear timeframes giving us a sense as to when those hospitals will be built. Mr. Watt says he will share a note with the committee. Are there timeframes in the Department indicating when it is estimated that there will be boots on the ground, a start to construction and serious work on this?
