Mr. Mayor, when you have Hypec, is it considered a big operation if you did intensive care afterwards, or is it a relatively routine thing? It's relatively routine in the sense that it's offered by several centres across the country. It is a specialist operation. Broadly speaking, it does take quite some time for the procedure to be performed, between 6 to 12 hours sometimes. And after an operation that's that long, inevitably you require intensive care for a few days. But broadly speaking, after that patients are stepped down to the general ward, average certainly for our service patients who are in for 12 days in the hospital in total. Thank you.
