Mr. Colm Desmond:

The HSE operates on an income and expenditure basis but some components are not reported through the evolution of the major programme budgets. There is, therefore, also be a time lag, which I described, in that what is reported in September may well have been slightly earlier. There may have been a degree of delay in that. It might be more useful if I could provide a more detailed paper on the different components of how that accountability and reporting operate. I can provide that to the Deputy. It was certainly a time lag in the programme areas.
