To answer Deputy Pearse Doherty's point in respect of the HSE, it is allowed appoint within delegated sanction limits. If, however, it goes above a delegated sanction limit, ministerial approval is required.

I am unable to answer Deputy Michael McGrath's specific question on voted expenditure but I will try to get the answer for him before Report Stage.
