I welcome Mr. Desmond and Mr. Mulvany and thank them both for being here. I will start by trying to reconcile the fact that the HSE's figures up to the end of April this year show a revenue deficit of €116 million. Can the witnesses put that in context for us in respect of the fiscal monitor, which shows the overall performance of the health Vote? It shows a total underspend - it is a combination of current and capital expenditure - of approximately €20 million up to the end of April. Can the witnesses reconcile the difference?
