I will indeed. I have already stated, in response to Deputy Connolly, that Professor Chris Fitzpatrick has done incredible work for maternity services. He made a number of valid points before the Committee of Public Accounts last week and I agree with him about the importance of moving the Coombe to the St. James's site. That is in our development plan and there is funding in place to do it. It will not come as news to Deputy McGrath, or anyone in this House, that the sequencing of that was always to build the children's hospital before the maternity hospital.
