Mr. David Moloney:
Primarily, it is a matter for the Department of Health to manage within the budgets which the Dáil allows. We have strengthened our oversight in recent years. We have established a health budget oversight group where we sit down with the Department of Health and HSE on a monthly or more frequent basis. We have established a process of reporting quarterly to Government on health spend. We have quite intense engagement over the course of the year with the Department of Health in relation to expenditure trends and where the money is going and in relation to the fiscal discipline that is there.
