Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive

2:00 am

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

There are rules with the Departments of Health and public expenditure about the utilisation of funds we receive and dispose of. Normally, we would not be using them for revenue costs. They would either go towards our capital programme or it would be held, essentially, in account until there is an agreement with the State as to what to do with it.
