I have a final question in this area. The month by month reports between the Department of Health and the HSE are now to be shared with the Minister's Department. What is the timelag in the provision of data? Mr. Colm Desmond has said there is a timelag which makes it more difficult to estimate the size of overruns. Will the Minister give us an indication as to whether the timelag is one, two or three months? How old are the data discussed each month?
