I am making the point again. This is just fiction. It is complete and utter fiction. Does Mr. Kinnane not have the figure? What are the component parts that make up this figure? I am challenging him to put to bed this idea that what the Department has presented as the standstill costs for health next year, is a work of fiction. The Department of Health and the HSE say it needs to be about €2 billion and the Department has said €708 million is what is needed. Will Mr. Kinnane break it down for me and convince me that they are wrong?
