Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion
Mr. David Moloney:
It is hard to say. When we look at the health budget it is comprised of a number of elements. Some 40% or so of it is public service pay. We have funded the existing pay agreement and the costs of the next pay agreement have not yet arisen. There are big movements in what kind of contracts are there and what length of time the contracts are for. There are price pressures within parts of the health sector.
