Is it the case that in 2017 there is no headroom at all? Even if there is greater than expected revenue from taxation receipts, we cannot match it with expenditure that is greater than expected because to do so would bring us above the ceiling? What is the position on Supplementary Estimates in 2017? If the Department of Health comes back to the Minister in September and states it is over budget by €300 and that it does not have an equivalent amount in savings across other expenditure areas, what will the position be?
