Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion
Mr. Eoin Dormer:
In the case of health, part of the ongoing monitoring process is to take in the profile, to look at the spending against that profile and to try to understand what is driving any variances, if spending is either under or over profile. One of the challenges, because it is such a complex area with lots of different spending lines across different areas, is making sure we get an understanding of what is actually driving each line. That can be difficult, which is why the health budget oversight group was set up in the first instance back in 2018 or 2019.
