Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The demand in everything we are doing is growing, and the available resource is the available resource. I have said this to the Deputy before. I know the employment control has been much criticised. I have listened to the narrative, not only having come into committees here but widely in the public domain, that the HSE is out of control and cannot manage its budget. I am simply managing to the best degree I can the budget I have available to me.
