Speaking from memory, the package included a figure of €105 million by way of PPPs for 20 primary care units. How did the agency arrive at a figure of approximately €5 million per primary care unit? Did it examine the position in different parts of the country in calculating the cost and would the cost be different in north Dublin compared to central Dublin or Ballaghaderreen? I am sure costs in Ballaghaderreen are substantially lower. Of the 35 primary care centres announced by the Government, 20 were to be constructed through PPPs in two bundles of ten. How did the agency arrive at these figures?
