Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin:
I have indicated that I have got a projection. It is simply estimated at this point. I am aware of the initiatives that are being taken by the HSE. I am hopeful that they will do much better than that, but the Chairman asked me a straightforward question and I gave him the answer that was available to me and my Department.
