On the final point, it would be interesting to know how the proposal stacks up financially. Will it still involve huge fees?

I wish to return to the issue of the shortfall in the health budget and the probable situation at the end of the year. I ask Mr. Watt to clarify a point he made earlier. Did he state we are probably looking at a shortfall in the region of €2.5 billion at the end of the year?
