Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare
Health Service Reform: Hospital Groups

Mr. Liam Woods:
The HSE has already made provision in its current-year funding for any risk around the non-achievement of the targets. A figure was identified. The figure in the service plan for the stretch target was €50 million. Mr. Carter is referring to a portion of that. We have already made provision for that and, therefore, we do not anticipate that there will be any cuts to patient services relating to under-achievement of income targets.
