Mr. Woods referred to the fact that the HSE is trying to achieve a balanced budget. What active measures is the executive taking on a day-to-day basis? I refer to the phrase that sends a chill down people's spines. They do not believe it when we talk about "non-front line savings". I have read that the HSE intends to achieve €72.5 million non-front line savings. What is the up-to-date position on how that is going? Where is that happening?
