The legislation has been in the Oireachtas for 12 months. If there are serious savings to be made for the taxpayer, it is in everybody's interest that the legislation is finalised as quickly as possible.
I will move to the issue of waiting times for first appointments for outpatients. There are 388,000 people waiting for such appointments. Is that up or down or a good figure? It is a phenomenal number of people. Will the witness put the figure in context?
