Mr. Derek Tierney:
When you look at what the available allocation is when netted out of our priorities, we look at demand pressure, age of stock, and buildability. The HSE has a prioritisation protocol which looks at seven or eight criteria around patient safety needs, demand pressures and so on. Therefore, there is a categorisation or criteria process within the HSE's allocation.
