Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Overspend on the Health Budget 2018: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

This is to the end of this year. In the service plan, we will use the same process to try to set limits for next year. We are not having a moratorium. We are setting affordable limits, which is the intention of the pay numbers strategy, where we say we can afford to go to a certain limit and no more. It is perhaps easier said than done in some areas of the health service but that is the intention. We have done that to the end of 2018.
