I want to discuss the capital surplus of €8 million in 2016 that was carried into 2017. Why? Every country is crying out for capital spend and new projects. Why was there a capital surplus of €8 million? We could have spent that sum.
Earlier the Comptroller of Auditor General asked why the HSE had not complied with its statutory responsibility to obtain the required ministerial sanction at the time of the Comptroller and Auditor General's audit. Has sanction been subsequently obtained? Why was there a surplus? Why did the HSE not get the permission of the Minister?
