It is very simple for us. For the general public looking at this, and particularly those on discretionary medical cards, it is apparent that these were given on the basis of a serious medical condition. I am basing my assumptions on the HSE figures. At the start of January there were 63,136 and at the end of September there 52,733, which is a change of 10,393. Is that correct?
