Why is it so much more difficult than with the Department of Social Protection, for example, which obviously has the highest expenditure of any Department? I can understand certain reasons, such as the desire to make some new drug that has come on stream available to the people. That would obviously lead to an increase. Allowing for that, the Department of Health seems to be the most frustrating Department to deal with.
