Mr. John Hennessy:
The annual expenditure is between €1.3 and €1.5 billion. The second significant measure was the legislation which provided for reference pricing. That has been happening in parallel with the IPHA agreement to reduce further the cost to the consumer and the Exchequer. The savings target for this year under reference pricing will amount to a further €50 million.
