Mr. Robert Watt:
No. The health expenditure profile sets out what was included in the budget, voted on by the relevant committees and approved by the House. We assess expenditure against that profile. Actual expenditure is the issue. Clearly for this project, the actual expenditure is for preliminary works; it was not the prospective spend when the final details were established.
