Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
May I respond to the question on the scale of the non-compliant procurement at St. James's Hospital? The sample examined involved 20 suppliers and a total spend of €59 million. Of that, it was found that 6% by value - over €3 million - was non-compliant. It was sizeable. That was not a full survey of all procurement.
