Exactly. I agree totally. I just wanted to make that point. I also believe we should write to CHI and get an update from it. Mr. Quinn said that some work, which I accept, would have been going on in parallel in respect of the six to nine months commissioning. We might get a status report from CHI on that. How many months has it cut off that nine months? That would be interesting.

I understand a task force was set up recently with regard to reflected ceiling plans, RCPs.

For the members of the public listening in to the committee, essentially this is where there had to be changes to the ceilings across the hospital because what was put in initially did not meet current requirements, building regulations and fire certs - in other words, exit signs, fire components and all of that sort of stuff. Is that correct?
