When spending is rising at such a rapid rate, it is vital that there is value for money incorporated into it. The health budget seems to be ever increasing and ever expanding and will only ever contract when the economy contracts, as opposed to better management currently. The Department needs to ensure that spending is reined in and managed effectively. Why is it the case that the HSE only has to publish purchase orders worth more than €50,000, as opposed to every other public entity, where orders worth more than €20,000 have to be published?
