I thank the Minister. We have been waiting for a Government or HSE-approved costing for Sláintecare for about two years. Sláintecare came up with its own fairly rough and ready figures to begin with. We disagree on whether the amount allocated to date is closer to €20 million or €200 million. We probably all agree that it is significantly below the Sláintecare figures, which called for about €500 million or maybe a bit more for the first year. Does the Department, the HSE or both actually have a set of figures for implementing Sláintecare? I am referring to year-on-year cost.
