In terms of the 2021 liability, €1.7 million was calculated for the health repayment scheme. The estimated provision for the repayment scheme was €1.7 million spent in 2021, while only €486 million of the estimated scheme cost of €1 billion has been spent to date. In December 2021, the figure was €486 million, which works out at an average of nearly €22,600 per claimant. How was the 2021 contingent liability of €1.7 million for the health scheme calculated by, I presume, the HSE?
