Yes. The question then is, of that €697 million which was originally allocated, what was it allocated for? I went back over the Estimates and €200 million of that was allocated for the access to care fund and €497 million for Covid-19 programmes. We then need to work through now all of the different Covid-19 programmes and compare and contrast what was originally allocated for each of those programmes with what we are allocating now.

There are two figures. There is the €697 million, which is the original allocation, and then there is the €1.878 billion, which we now know is the total revised allocation for Covid-19. On personal protective equipment, PPE, on page 19 it says €118 million. The question then is to look at this through the lens of the €697 million figure. How much of that €697 million was allocated for PPE?
