Okay. I wish to raise a couple of other specific issues in the remaining time. I have a question for Ms Hardiman on electronic healthcare. I am a huge advocate for it and I have been talking about it for nearly a decade. My background is in technology. Is this reversible back into all other health scenarios within the HSE? In other words, has it been tested so that this will eventually be the healthcare that will be used across the health service? In other words, we are not spending a huge pile of money on something that cannot be reverse-engineered into the rest of healthcare in the HSE.
