May I ask one general question in the context of the procurement policy? Given that the HSE has saved €28 million in 2015, which by Mr. Woods's own analysis is short of the €95 million the executive might try to save in the 2015 service plan, and given that the HSE has spent €1.6 billion, or 13% of its budget, is the target too ambitious? Am I missing something in saying it is a long way short of the target in terms of procurement savings?
