I accept that. It is actually one of the areas where we have gotten it right. E-prescription is a big success. I certainly agree with that but we are way behind in all the other areas. On funding, Mr. Thompson spoke earlier about the capital and revenue funding stating that we hit 99% of the spend on what is allocated. Money also comes or is available as well through the recovery and resilience fund. My understanding was that €75 million was available to Ireland under that fund, of which €40 million was for e-pharmacy and €35 million for financial systems. How much of that money was spent?
