While I appreciate that the Minister for Health, Deputy Varadkar, carries the can for health in the first instance, the Minister, Deputy Howlin, is presenting this document to us. I am accepting the figures from him and his officials in good faith. The document is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is based on the premise that these are the ceilings as calculated, and that they are sufficient in the quantum of moneys apportioned. If they are not, this is just an exercise we are going through that does not really amount to much.
