Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

May I comment? I think comparing the figures of 48% and 36% is not indicative of a trend. The difficulty is that there are 11 systems and there are many ways in which procurement is happening and getting a complete overview is very difficult in the HSE. There may be progress being made but we may not be able to identify it until we see regularly, where we do samples in four or five locations, that the figure is coming down and staying down from year to year.
