In regard to the departmental heads, for the past number of years the Department of Health is always the one that went out of kilter. It is bang on profile at present. Mr. Watt mentioned, in his interactions with Deputy Pearse Doherty, that we can come back and look at the revised figures but, actually, we cannot. The Department of Health must act within its own resources if it goes over the expenditure allocated this year. The Department of Health is on target. Does Mr. Watt anticipate any difficulties in that Department in terms of expenditure for the remainder of the year?
