Of the 3,500 ventilators that were ordered, reference was made to €20.5 million being spent on purchases from existing suppliers and €81 million on purchases from new suppliers. Mr. Gloster mentioned China in his opening remarks. Were all the ventilators from new providers sourced from China or were some sourced from elsewhere? There are legal proceedings ongoing in this regard, as referred to in the appendices to the opening statement. Of the ventilators that were ordered, what percentage were delivered and what percentage of those delivered were usable?
