I am very conscious of time as I am running out of it. I appreciate that. In fairness, that is a very satisfactory answer to what could have been a tricky question.

Mr. McGroarty mentioned that with this project, sometimes it is hard to make policy now for what will bring long-term benefits and savings, particularly in relation to health and well-being. He mentioned a figure of overall savings. Could he give perhaps a more practical example, someone with perhaps an individual illness and the savings per person by a scheme like this and investing in grassroots sport like this?
