The deficit figure of €500 million, which is a huge figure we are all very concerned about and which Deputy McDonald referred to earlier, has been in the public domain for some time now. Even in the report I have here, there is reference to the fact that the HSE expected, if things went unchecked, there would be a deficit of roughly that level later in the year. Am I correct in that?
