Ms Louise McGirr:

Different factors drove it, though. Last year, it was mostly due to Covid. The Deputy will remember how we had Omicron. We also had significant time-related savings, namely, areas where we did not spend the full budget. For example, we had more multi-annual funding for staffing. The trend in expenditure on acute services has been driving much of these Supplementary Estimates, and it was evident in 2022 that they were starting to cost much more.
