I appreciate that and the scale of it. I fully understand that. Mr. Tierney and I have talked previously in private discussions about the cost of all of this. I know the system in the North cost over €1 billion and other European countries have spent a lot of money. What is the budget over the coming years even to get us to a point of having a shared care record? What would be required to get to a point where we would have the full electronic system across the entire health service? How much money are we talking about?
