Mr. Damien McCallion:

The national screening service has an overall budget of €77.8 million. That is split up across the four programmes and there are some common elements to that. One of the things that undoubtedly will be looked at, either through myself or through the other review process, will be whether there are opportunities for the programmes to perhaps work together more closely. There is a common piece. Approximately €5 million of that is the national screening service as a whole and then each of the programmes has a budget underneath that. The laboratory costs are in the order of about €6.9 million per year spread across the different laboratories that provide the services. At the moment, there is an overall national screening programme and there are four programmes underneath that. Each of those has a budget but there is an overall budget of €77.8 million.
