I ask for answers to the three questions I asked earlier. I asked Mr. O'Dwyer about risk equalisation. He states it is 55% effective, but the Department of Health states it is up to 80% effective. I asked about the €28 million liability for subsidised lifetime health insurance for staff and their spouses and children. I refer to the point made by Mr. Clancy in his initial contribution that if a person changes insurance companies mid-stream he or she will be required to pay the levy twice. Is this the other insurers' understanding of the legislative provisions?
