I apologise for being late but I was in meetings all morning. Please forgive me if I ask questions that have been answered. I only have two questions. In his response to the Committee of Public Accounts, Mr. Gunning highlighted the importance of sustainability in the design of the new children's hospital project. While we gain an understanding of the environmental impact as the project progresses, was a system to calculate the embodied carbon or to measure to carbon emissions of the project incorporated during the design stage? It is an important issue and I just wanted to find out about it. I am sure the witnesses have covered all of the other questions that have been asked of them this morning.
