I thank the Chair and the Minister for his presentation. On PPE, as the Minister stated, annually the HSE would pay a fraction of that. It is an astronomical amount of money. I am not aware if the Minister has been watching what is happening in Britain in respect of PPE, where it was bought at prices that were completely inflationary compared to what it would normally cost. Where was most of the new PPE sourced? Was it outside the EU, inside the EU, or even in Ireland? Can I have a breakdown of that, please?
