I welcome Mr. Tony O’Brien and his colleagues.

On the issue of the treatment of private patients in public hospitals, in September 2012 up to €74 million was outstanding for consultants’ fee billings to private insurers. Of this figure, at the time we were told that between €5 million to €8 million was outstanding for more than 12 months. The overall outstanding figure has dropped to €61 million. How much is outstanding for more than 12 months?
