Yesterday, the Committee on Budgetary Oversight was presented with a report which showed an increase of €782 million over the allocated amount for 2016 for health. If we take this €782 million overexpenditure and add it to the more than €15 billion in the annual allocation and the approximately €4 billion in private insurance, it adds up to €20 billion for a health service for 4 million to 4.5 million people. There is something radically wrong here.
