Mr. Francis Hanlon:

I can speak to 2025. I joined Beaumont Hospital in April 2025. We have put together a non-patient-facing cost containment plan of €6 million and we are working through that. We have a projected deficit of €20 million and we are working with the HSE to try to resolve that issue. An expenditure limit for 2025 has been set and we are projected to deliver on that.
