I understand it will not be perfect but we are talking about €4.6 billion. Obviously there will be pressures. Everybody understands that could happen but this is six years in a row. €4.6 billion is a significant amount. During previous budgets, it was often said specifically regarding the health budget that it was not calculated correctly or they were just not being honest, whichever way you want to give them the way out. Over the past six years, the budget has been miscalculated by the Government. Something I have noticed being said in the media and in the committee by IFAC is it notes the Government should include likely overruns from 2025 in forecasts for 2026. In the past six years where the budgets were miscalculated, was that done going forward or was it just ignored?
