Okay. The projected one was €2 billion. It was made by people within the board of the HSE who know about these things and it is worth reminding ourselves of that.
Moving to the question of workforce planning, Mr. Watt provided a lot of figures and detail in his opening statement. What I am not seeing at all is a workforce plan. There is much talk about recruitment, existing numbers and all that and that is all important stuff, but it does not constitute workforce planning. My understanding was the Department was to produce a plan by this month. Is that plan in place? Is it a document?
