Going back to the overall numbers, we got a briefing note on winter capacity and performance. I am confused about the overall figures for emergency calls. The figure given for December and January 2023, which is a two-month time period, was 115,603 calls for urgent care. That is 1,865 calls per day. Is that the average? Are we talking about well over 1 million calls per year? We also got a figure for Dublin, which was 148,000 calls. Can we get a figure for all calls over 12 months?
