Mr. Paul Reid:
Given that the concern was right and expressed well, we have worked with the Department of Health in the past few weeks, and with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I acknowledge that the Deputy does not hear me say that but that is the process to make sure that the implications for the HSE capital budget will not be as extensive as they seemed in early May. That is what I work on, day and evening, with my colleagues in the Department of Health to ensure.
