Financial Statements 2023: Health Information and Quality Authority

2:00 am

Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

We had an 11% increase between 2022 and 2023 in our funding allocation. As we set out in the opening statement, there are three sources of funding. We get the block grant from the Department of Health. We also get fee income and then we have funding for specific other projects, including funding for IPAS. The 11% increase in funding is directly related to both Departments' requests to us to take on a significantly expanded remit and that has continued into 2024.
