The Minister spoke of subhead J1. Maybe it is the language he is using but it is not very clear. I am conscious people are probably listening at home as well. Maybe other members understand it. The Minister stated:
While there are deficits across a range of core services, most of the supplementary ask, €1.544 billion, relates to acute hospitals. These deficits in core services are offset somewhat by other operations expenditure, which is forecast to be in surplus by €281 million.
Will he explain what exactly he means by that?
