In fairness, I have given the Minister a lot of my time to respond to that question. I want to get on to a second point as quickly as I can as well. I just want a figure for my first question. How much has been achieved by way of productivity and savings since the task force was established? The breakdown, if there is one, can be provided to us in writing. Second, what scientific analysis is being done to estimate what savings can be achieved through technology? Is there a percentage, a figure or something we can look at? We all want to achieve savings and efficiencies in healthcare where we can. Has a figure been identified by the Department that, for example, over the course of five years, a specific percentage of spending can be achieved through better use of technology?
