Deputy Murphy is correct, and that is one part of it. The part of it I am trying to nail down is from the point of view of the budget being allocated for a particular service within the new health areas, and how we see delivery. The point that has been made before is that in some places one has budgets but little or no outcome. Yet, there is a budget there. What happens to the budget in between, where does it go to and what is it used for? It is not clear. The Comptroller and Auditor General might want to comment on it but from what I have seen to date, any time we have had documentation supplied, one cannot actually track that. There is no mechanism to track it.
