As Deputy Doherty said, there is an underspend in the Department of Children and Youth Affairs of €39 million. That will more than likely be sucked up in the next few weeks as the various initiatives roll out. There is an underspend of €21 million in health yet the HSE said at the weekend that it needed €320 million extra for elder care services such as home care packages and home help hours. Are there any other similar bodies that have made submissions for extra funding or are there any other Departments or agencies with an overspend? What is the current situation in health in relation to its expenditure?
