The figures I have, which have been verified, are in line with the figures that the Secretary General of the Department of Health and Minister for Health indicated to the Joint Committee on Health. They outlined a figure of €1.4 billion, with different contingencies that could increase the figure. Those figures have been shared with us and we believe that they reflect the different issues that could develop in the hospital. I believe the target date for the hospital opening is between 2022 and 2023. I do not have information about how much money has been spent on the project but I can get it for the Senator as this meeting progresses.
