I appreciate that. Relating to that, it is my understanding that private healthcare is included in the figures for Ireland where it is not included in the other EU countries' figures. With the CSO being in such a pivotal position within the EU, it would be in the position to look at that properly. Then, once and for all, we would have a right figure for our expenditure on healthcare that everybody could agree on, both Government and Opposition. I have taken up enough time now. I thank the Minister of State very much for that.
