Mr. Patrick Burke:

I do not have a precise figure for discretionary medical cards, but I can confirm that what the director general has said is correct. In 2012 we reviewed 360,000 medical cards; this year, as at 1 September, we had initiated 428,000 reviews and by the end of the year we will have initiated nearly 600,000. That means that there are over 900,000 medical cards in respect of which a review has been initiated. We have a target of 1 million for next year. In terms of the figure of 36 months, we intend to cover the entire deal.
