The €24.2 billion refers to where we are with current funding and does not take any account of where we are with capital funding. Regarding the national children's hospital, I am confident that despite the many difficulties we have had with that project and the many issues that we acknowledge we need to handle in a different way, when that hospital is open and running it will make a massive difference to the health of children.
