Mr. David Moloney:

The process is that the health team and officials from the finance unit and other areas of the Department of Health sit down and work through the numbers during the period between the summer economic statement and October. The go through each of those areas. That happens for every area. The ELS estimates provided by Government Departments are generally higher than the figures that are finally agreed. It is fair to say that is part of the process and that happened with the Department of Health this year.
