Mr. Liam Woods:
Up to that. To explain what we were doing in 2017, the year of account, we did reduce the medical agency staff spend by €7.5 million and hospitals reduced their nursing agency staff spend by about €7 million as well. There was some success but, returning to the Deputy's core point, there is a requirement for us and we continue to pursue converting.
