2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (Resumed)
Health Service Executive: Financial Statements 2020

Mr. Paul Reid:

Our chief financial officer might say something. We engage with the Department regularly, using the oversight arrangements referred to, and look at the recruitment profile. We will make an assessment at the end of May and in the early weeks of June of just what that looks like as we plan for the rest of the year. There will be a dialogue and discussion about the appropriate use of those funds. The CFO might give a technical example, but that is what we are doing in practical terms.
