David Cullinane: It is important for us to tease this out, and I think I am getting there in terms of what the Minister is proposing. I do not want to take away from the positivity of this measure, because it is extremely important. Women will ask us, however, what the likely prescription charge is going to be. For medical card holders, for example, it was free prescriptions, with everything covered, and...
