David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Here is what I see. I see the €1.39 billion figure, I see the Minister say 85% of that is for Covid-19 expenditure and €190 million is from a contingency fund. Then there is a separate discussion about €600 million of additional spend for unforeseen events and I know what it is, it is pensions and all of those demands and so on. Then we talking about cash reserves and so on. With respect to the Minster, this is not a way to present a Supplementary Estimate that actually makes sense to an Oireachtas health committee. It should have been more clearly outlined. It still does not make sense to me because the Minister is saying there are lot of moving parts. Of course there are, which is why we should have more time for preparation.

I will put one more question in relation to the Estimate itself. Why is there an underspend on Sláintecare?
