I will get the Deputy a detailed note but, from memory, approximately €3.4 million relates to a new ask from Cappagh hospital. He will have heard and will be aware of some of the representations made in that regard. Some of it is funded through increases in the budget. That is important because it is recurring funding. This relates to, for example, MRI beds and so forth. Some of it is additional one-off funding, although I know CHI will look for some of that one-off funding to become recurring funding. With regard to the total package, the additional funding for this year in comparison with last year, which is a mixture of access to care funding, core funding and capital expenditure funding, is approximately €19 million.
