I take Mr. O'Brien's point, although I am not overly pleased with it. When I speak to private sector companies, they can clearly tell me the cost of absenteeism to their organisations. I accept that Mr. O'Brien is operating off a complex payroll system, but it would be interesting to have an idea of the cost to the taxpayer of absenteeism in the health service. If Mr. O'Brien wants to come back to the committee another time, he can do so.
