While the accounting is done top-down from these health regions that no longer exist, the management of the budget is bottom-up. People receive the money and they budget and spent from the bottom up. It is all put together again at the top and reallocated to the different areas. The roll-out of BreastCheck to women aged 65 to 69 was in the service plan and is in the Estimates, and it has started already.
