On programme A in general, we know there will be some savings again next year under this heading because there have been some announcements on multi-annual provisions. For instance, the capitation grant is to be cut by another 1%. This was announced. Do we know the extent of the announced savings to be effected in next year's budget? How much will the budget for programme A be reduced bearing in mind previously announced measures? I would appreciate the figure. If we had it, we would at least know the scope, if any, for further savings. We are looking at another €44 million again next year. How much has already been identified from previous announcements on programme A?
