That is not the question. If Mr. Gloster does not have the figures to hand, he might provide them. It is a disputed figure. It is something we are trying to get to the bottom of but we cannot get to the bottom of it if only one side is telling us an exact figure.
I am conscious of time because other members are offering. I want to ask a question in regard to primary care centres, in particular the Carraroe centre in County Galway. Carraroe is on the list to get a primary care centre. We want to make sure people are able to access healthcare locally, especially in a rural area like Connemara, from where it can take well over an hour to get to Galway city, even forgetting about the traffic issues. It is a long-standing demand to have a primary medical centre. At this point, does Mr. Gloster know what the estimated timeframe is for delivery of that and what costs are associated with it?
