Mr. David Delaney:
Yes, no problem. The figure of €71 per person per night is the average contracted rate for each bed, whereas the cost across the system would include many more things like funding local authority integration teams, paying for taxis and buses and loads of other different services around the system. We are looking at a very big gap for that reason. In fairness to the Deputy, it was a very specific question about what the contracted rate is.
