Sorry, Mr. Watt. I have very little time and want to move on to the staffing issue. I do not particularly want the individual elements of it. What we discussed in September was the stand-alone programme of implementing Sláintecare, which is a main policy thrust of successive Governments. Coming from a budgetary oversight position, one would want to know the cost of that policy. Mr. Watt undertook to look at that and I believe he was going to either provide that information to us or to IFAC. Is it the case that the information is not in front of Mr. Watt right now?
