Ms Lucy Nugent:

Funding comes in through the HSE. It goes through an internal process. It comes in through Rosetta, a financial system. If it is for posts, for example, there is a tracker system for when those posts were advertised and filled. We only get the money for those posts when they are filled. There is a process where we go back to the HSE to indicate the post has been filled and to ask if we can have the money. There is a tracker in the spinal unit itself because we have had a lot of welcome investment for staffing in the unit, for which we are very grateful. There is a robust process in place. We only get the money when we have the post filled.
