Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

Yes, but a large part of the non-pay spend goes out to voluntary organisations. That accounts for about €7 billion a year of the current €24 billion. The primary care reimbursement service accounts for another €4.5 billion or €5 billion. They are not procured in that context. Procurement spend is more like €4.5 billion or €5 billion.
