Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Health Budget and Expenditure Management: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Colm Desmond:
There are some components such as State Claims Agency expenditure, the income issue around private health insurance and the like that are more difficult to predict at that stage in the year. They certainly have a bearing on it. I agree that it would be more satisfactory if a more composite collection of data was reported at that point.
