I want to move on to the National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF, and the insourcing. As the witnesses will have heard, we struggle to understand what the hell is going on here. I am trying to get a bit of clarity. With regard to the NTPF, in Ms Brady's view, is in sourcing being used to compensate for a lack of core-funded capacity?
