My second question relates to strategic alignment. The State, via the HSE, is paying out €3.3 billion, which is a substantial amount of money. It sounds like this figure needs to be increased for a wide variety of reasons. How well is it aligned with the State's clear and strategic position as set out in the HSE's service delivery plan and overall objectives, etc? How well is the money lined up with what the HSE needs? In the light of the recommendation that the HSE needs to create a list of all the services for which it is currently paying, am I right in thinking it does not have such a list? I may have misunderstood the point that was being made.
