Ms Mary Day:

I concur with my colleague, Dr. O'Reilly, on the income targets set. There are very good processes and they have developed over the years to ensure we get the best value and best targeting with regard to meeting the stretch income targets for the group. We do not pull back services. When looking at meeting our budgetary allocation at the end of the year, we tend to look at non-clinical rather than clinical. Perhaps Mr. Woods from the HSE would like to comment on the income targets.
