Mr. John Hennessy:
Our accounts for the end of April 2014 show a positive variance of the PCRS, which includes medical cards as the main contributor. We are approximately €5 million to the good at the end of April.
That is made up of many factors, in particular the cost reductions achieved in drug pricing. The Deputy may recall we spoke earlier about the IPHA agreement.
