Erm  what this is really about, I think we all recognise this  is  the  erm  purchaser aim to increase their leverage in the contract situation as against the providers on the other side of contract  and in fact, I think we ought to tie this very much more in with what  this authority has been saying about the proposals of the trust on the provider side because  I think that this is an argument against the whole district N H S trusts that we're getting, but it is  encouraging the situation in which health authorities have purchasers on the other side of the contract are going to want to band together and merge to create a larger block in which to negotiate with their whole trust providers, I think this is a  a very dangerous situation and think we needed to tie the two together  as an argument there.
