I’ll try to remember when we get there what section that was. Mr. Dolynny talked a bit about the governance and I had the same question why there doesn’t seem to be any indication in the budget that we’re going to be saving some money in terms of the amalgamation of health authorities into one. I would have thought there would have been some efficiencies and some savings due to economies of scale. I can appreciate the Minister’s remark that health costs keep going up. Absolutely they do. But, I guess, can we anticipate, then, that once this amalgamated system is in place, and I would think that it’s going to take probably a year for that to happen, so I’m looking forward to the budget for ’16-17. Can we anticipate that there wouldn’t be an increase in the overall budget because of the amalgamation of the health boards?
