Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Health Budget and Expenditure Management: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Colm Desmond:

We have a Supplementary Estimate for the amount I mentioned - €625 million in respect of current, and that has a number of components, including the acute sector. It would be our objective to manage within that. It is not entirely an exact science but it is the range within which the HSE should come at the end of the year.
