Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

The Deputy has made some valid points about the specifics in the plan. The HSE is a new organisation and has only been in existence for 14 months. Rather than the money being broken down along the lines of the old health board regions, I would like to see it broken down along more specific lines. I have communicated this to the HSE and in time that will happen. The plan is available on its website and has been available by e-mail since I approved it. It is one of the specified documents in the Act that is required to be made available to Members of the Oireachtas. I do not know whether that happened. If it did not happen I will ensure it will happen in future.
