Benchmarking: Motion.
The benchmarking will cost €188.94 million in payments to health administrators and so on, who go a long way towards righting the inadequacy and inequality in health care in this country. I fully understand Senator O'Toole's concerns as nearly half of next year's benchmarking costs will go to the education sector, which will receive €300 million. This money could be effectively used to double the school building programme which he has called for time and time again.
