Mr. David Moloney:

Those conversations are about to be had. We will discuss with our health colleagues the challenges in 2023 in the context of the €1 billion non-core allocation and their implications going forward. By providing this €1 billion non-core allocation in the budget, we have provided room to have that discussion because, at the moment, there is not a common understanding of the different elements of that. We accept that some elements relate to inflation, that some Covid-related costs are being carried forward and that some elements relate to budget management but these conversations will shed more light on those issues.
