In the short time available to me I want to talk specifically about the issue of health and the very dry issue of value for money. I was struck when reading the report from the three wise men by some of the language and analysis contained therein. I acknowledge that the terms of reference were tight and that they were asked to do a particular job by the Department of Finance. All three are ex-Department of Finance officials and come from a culture which regards public spending as not being particularly good. I doubt if they were all that upset by being asked to cut it by €900 million.
