Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I think it is fair to say that the troika, like the Government, is simply looking for us to report transparently on our progress against the service plan. Clearly, the troika has some wider policy objectives, which relate in particular to the price of medicines discussion we had here today, and it also has views on input and labour costs. The interaction between the HSE and the troika is very much focused on the discussion of how service plan is progressing, particularly from a financial point of view.
