I will make a last point. In fairness Deputy Conway-Walsh dealt with this in detail but it is important because it is the Government's response to this. It said we spend the most money in Europe in relation to health and Mr. Moloney came here and repeated that. Ireland ranks first in EU expenditure on healthcare as a proportion of our national income. Please acknowledge that that includes private healthcare.
