He made the case that he wants more money, as does every leader of every State body and agency and as does everybody who appears before an Oireachtas committee. They say they acknowledge what they have but they will always make the case for more. To every charge that is made of deliberate underfunding on my behalf, including by the Deputy, I simply point to the fact that €1.9 billion of additional funding was made available to the health service.
