We will already be between €1 billion and €1.5 billion in debt starting off, unless there is a way of making sure that none of the patients who were treated this year present next year or if the inflation we have seen this year simply goes away. We are going to have more inflation next year. We all know this. How is all of this going to disappear? How do these magical figures add up? How is it all going to work? How come Robert Watt is so wrong? How come Bernard Gloster is so wrong on this? If the Department is right and the Government are right, then their maths are out by billions.
