I thank Mr. Hanlon. My next question might be for Ms Coyle as it is about the total expenditure in the hospital. Obviously, it is a fantastic hospital. It is huge. It does amazing work, especially for the elderly and those with brain injuries. It has a great reputation across the world. At the moment, it seems to be running a deficit. Can Ms Coyle tell me what the situation is? How will she bring that under control? What steps are being taken to ensure the deficit does not increase?
