Okay. There is legislation going through the Dáil on the pricing of supplies of medicines. It is nearly completed. If this legislation is passed, has the HSE calculated how much savings there will be? The Oireachtas is anxious to pass this legislation as it will allow the HSE to secure savings in its drugs and medicines bill. Before the legislation was drafted I am sure somebody proposed that if this new legislation was in place it would be possible to achieve X amount of savings. What savings can be achieved if this legislation is passed or what case did somebody put about the savings to be made?
