Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In dealing with the Deputy's first question on whether I knowingly underfund the health service, the answer is no. I made decisions which I take responsibility for and that I worked on with the Department of Health. What is an issue for us is the fact that we are seeing overspends developing in both pay and non-pay areas. Much of this is concentrated in our acute hospital groups.
