I was struck by one item in the report and I ask the delegation for an explanation. I refer to the transport heading where costs were entitled "staff transport" and "patient transport" costs. I understand what the staff transport costs might be. For example, the cost may refer to visits by public health nurses and so on. I ask the witnesses to explain what is meant by the term "patient transport". I ask because the figure almost reached €300,000 in one year for patient transport.
