I know that, but they are looking at cost-containment plans on the foot of a letter from Mr. Reid. In Waterford, for example, the cost-containment plan looks at limiting surgical theatre space over a number of months during the summer, where savings can be made in cleaning contracts, agency spend and overtime.

There is a whole range of other areas. They are all designed to make sure they come in on budget under a heading termed "cost containment". I am stating that there is an element of cost containment. As I put to Mr. Reid at the start of my contribution, that essentially means the HSE ensuring that they come in on budget. He might not want to call it cost containment but that it what they call it. Is that what is happening in hospitals across the State?
