Can Mr. Desmond reconcile that with the fact that the official overall Exchequer figures in health up to the end of April show an underspend of €20 million? The HSE has an overspend of €116 million versus budget so the health Vote, which includes more than the HSE, although the HSE is a predominant element, shows an underspend. I am trying to reconcile the difference.
