We were told by the Minister there was a performance management review. There is a structure in place to achieve efficiencies. Mr. Watt spoke of productivity and savings, so people will be surprised. Figures have been put in the public domain concerning savings that will be achieved in agency spend. A recruitment embargo is in place, and I do not agree with that. There were savings to be made on management consultancy. Mr. Watt mentioned medicines publicly as well. Given all of that, how is the Department still €500 million ahead of profile?
