Mr. Liam Woods:

Our business case for the period in question indicates that it would be between €440 million and €500 million. I will give a brief observation on the indicated funding if it is helpful to the committee. Typically, health services across Europe have IT investment of between 3% and 4% of their budgets. The HSE's IT investment is approximately 0.4% of its budget. There is a necessity. Committee members have made points about the need for integration and managing boundaries across care. IT is critical to that. There is a considerable opportunity in that regard.
