I will open up the meeting to Deputies in a few minutes. I want first to get clarification on some of the large figures because there is total confusion, which is due to the volume of information. The total cost as of now to get the hospital up and running is €1.733 billion and of that the Department expects to get €150 million by way of philanthropy, plus €18 million for the research unit.
