Ms Mary Day:

Absolutely, when we are given a budget allocation at the beginning of the year we undertake to deliver services within the budget allocation and we look at a cost containment plan to do this. Most of the cost containment plan involves looking at non-clinical areas. Deputy O'Reilly is correct that when we look at where we are in 2016, much of the fat has been taken out of the system. We are looking at being innovative in how we deal with procurement processes and deliver efficiencies. This is where the group comes into its own.
