Mr. Liam Woods:

The expenditure was €6 million in the most recent 12-month period. There are 42 hospitals involved, some of which are very small scale. The largest individual hospital would have acquired about €900,000 of products. The next largest group of four or five would have acquired about €300,000 of products, and then we are into small amounts. There would also be some capital transactions.

On tendering for consumables, the approach is that we would look at categories of product and determine market approaches for those categories. Medical surgical devices is one of those categories.
