Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion
Mr. David Moloney:
We have been talking about overspends in the HSE and that is on the current side. In reality, because of the challenges in getting construction projects off the ground in a full employment labour market, the Department of Health is behind in its capital allocation; it is underspend. There are a variety of challenges. Part of it is the inflationary environment and that things cost more and partly it is also that things are hard to get through and get done.
