Can I stop the Minister there, please, because that is part of the problem? We now have this narrow focus on regionalisation. I accept that the Minister is saying that this will focus on regionalisation. The Minister said in his opening statement that we are a long way away from universal healthcare. We certainly are. We can talk about 97% delivery of some elements of Sláintecare but we are a long way away from moving private healthcare from public hospitals, from universal GP care, and from reducing waiting lists which have gone in the wrong direction.

I will put a number of quick questions to the Minister and he or Mr. Watt can provide some quick answers. Even in the presentation given by the Minister, he talks about €1.2 billion that was allocated to health last year, which it was. I ask Mr. Watt how much of that €1.2 billion will be unspent this year?
