Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Winter Preparedness in the Hospital System: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
To go back to the distinction I made between cash and income and expenditure accounting, and this is not to confuse the public or anybody else, yesterday's Supplementary Estimate, which is very welcome and for which I am very grateful, should more or less cash out the year. I do not believe cash will be a problem for us at the end of the year. What happens regarding the balance on the income and expenditure sheet, in the way Government accounting works and is stipulated, is that it goes onto the balance sheet next year as a first charge.
