I see that. How many of these allowances are identified on individual employees' payslips? Mr. Barry O'Brien referred to the eight HSE payroll systems. I was going to mention the situation relating to PPARS, which was at the different stages of integration in different parts of the health sector. That integration process was halted at a particular point when a controversy arose. The system was fully rolled out in some areas while it was only partially rolled out in respect of some functions in other areas. How many of the 67,000 direct staff of the HSE are on the PPARS system? I take it the latter is the largest of the eight systems to which Mr. Barry O'Brien referred? What is the breakdown with regard to the number of staff on each of these payroll systems. Do each of the organisations in the voluntary sector have separate payroll systems? Are myriad payroll systems in operation in that sector? How is the information to which I refer captured?
