I must put this scenario to Mr. O'Brien, who may correct me if I am wrong in these figures as I go along. It is a business. One part of the business is the acute hospital sector, which has overrun by €63 million. The medical card budget is approximately €9 million over budget. On drugs cost savings, the HSE was to save €124 million in 2012 and it has achieved €15 million. Am I correct so far?
