The further reason I do not accept that premise is that in the funding that was provided for the Department of Health, in the budget decisions that were made and communicated, there was an additional €1.9 billion. How can additional funding of €1.9 billion being provided be described as underfunding? Since 2019 alone, an additional €6 billion has been provided by me for our health service and there are now 27,000 more people working within it. That is the record of the commitment of funding to the Department of Health.
