Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael)

As the Deputy will be aware, we have a significant increase. It is a 5% increase on the projected outturn compared with an additional 4.2% on the outturn in 2025. We have additional funding for staff and additional funding for new medicine but the Deputy is correct that there is an element of simple health inflation, which we are trying to offset, of course, with efficiency, better productivity and better procurement across the board.
