I thank Mr. Gloster for that. I am looking at the forward to the national service plan written by the chairperson of the HSE. He talks about the significant financial challenges over the next 12 months that will impact on the overall budget and what might happen at the year end. He states that there is a likely requirement for a supplementary budget or supplementary funding support. Would that be an understatement? Talking straight, would Mr. Gloster see it as a racing certainty that there will be a need for a Supplementary Estimate before year end?
