Mr. Tony O'Brien:

In service plans such as the service plan for this year there is a difference between direct allocations which are clearly aligned with different sectors and indirect allocations. Savings measures derived from the Haddington Road agreement are being applied across the board. Savings measures can be applied as a result of value for money reports, in addition to headline reductions. In the service plans we propose to the Minister this year we will seek to be absolutely clear about the manner in which each of these things applies to each sector in order that it is fully and transparently described.
