The council identified up to €1 billion of underprovision and now there is probably a bit more that is over-running. If an organisation does not get an appropriate budget, it runs on emergency services and is not able to plan properly. Is the council concerned that the underprovision is resulting in further overruns? Does the witnesses understand the point I am making in that the HSE is not able to plan, is working with locums, a recruitment ban is in place and some of this is costing more money than it should be? What correlation is there between both in their view?
