Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion

Mr. David Moloney:

Yes. There were actions that could have been taken in terms of budget management vis-à-vispay and staffing. On the other hand we recognise, outside of budget management and practices, that there are also other events, pandemic-legacy events, and extra demands on the health sector in particular. Our assessment is ongoing.
