Mr. Barry O'Brien:

We have not done that because we have already delivered change in a number of other areas in which we incurred significant compensatory costs. For example, we carried out a major and fairly radical overhaul of our laboratory services, in respect of which the compensatory element amounts to slightly over €12 million. We radically changed the on-call service, the call-out service and extended the working day to 8 p.m. As I stated, the long-term savings for the health service are quite significant. The rules are as outlined.
