Mr. Jim Breslin:

It is very complicated. Two sets of accounts are involved. One is the appropriation account for 2016, the lion's share of which goes to the HSE, and the other is the HSE 2017 accounts. To make life even more complicated, the appropriation account contains the gross amount or total spend and the Exchequer amount or net spend because we get some income from sources other than the Exchequer such as the United Kingdom, which contributes money. The amounts can be reconciled but doing so is not very straightforward.
