Probabilities of Poisson-gamma mixture

Let XX and YY be jointly distributed random variables such that, for every fixed λ>0\lambda > 0, the conditional distribution of XX given Y=λY=\lambda is the Poisson distribution with mean λ\lambda. If the distribution of YY is Gamma(2,12)\mathrm{Gamma}(2, \frac{1}{2}), then the value of P(X=0)+P(X=1)P(X=0)+P(X=1) equals
