This meeting has been convened to consider the 2022 Supplementary Estimate for Vote 38 - the Department of Health. I thank the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, the Minister of State, Deputy Mary Butler and their officials from the Department for coming to today's meeting to consider the Supplementary Estimate and the provision of a briefing note related to the Estimate.

I presume members want to complain. We got the Minister's opening statement between 4 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. having received the Minister's briefing note at 8.30 a.m. this morning. I presume members want to speak on that before I start.
