Vote 38 - Department of Health

Mr. John Connaghan:

Yes. The annual financial statements show the HSE's overall deficit. It shows what we paid out to voluntary organisations.

When we include the section 38 agencies and the deficit they are running we arrive at that figure of the €166 million. We wanted to give a more representative figure. Even though that extra bit is outside of our own annual financial statements, it is part of the overall health system.
