Mr. David Moloney:

The Oireachtas enacts the legislation that governs that process under the Health Act. I have no part in that. It is clearly not the case that no service plan has ever before pointed to elements of financial risk. That has happened before. The decisions taken by the Minister and the Government are very clear on the fact that one of the things we want to do is to work with the health sector on where we go from here. However, these things are managed by the Department of Health in the first instance under the existing legislation. We have had experience before of a level of financial risk being identified in a service plan and having to be managed over the course of the year.
