Yeah.

So one of the attractions of going to Oxford was that there was already a managed service contract in place, and the, the one in Oxford is, um, covers both radiotherapy and radiology, so it's a big contract.

Um, radio- the b- those services on the Churchill site.
8:10
Um, radiology in the rest of the trust, which has three other sites, um, is not part of that managed equipment service.
8:18
I think initially, um, I had no experience of a managed equipment service, and I, I looked at the contract and I thought, "Well, this is gonna be straightforward." You know, we have a, a replacement program, so it's, it's all timetabled in.

We get upgrades for our hardware, our software, which is great.
