Question 2: To ask the Minister for Finance if, in regard to his statement to Dáil Éireann on 25 January 2006 in which he revealed that €56 million that had been designated as capital spending for the Health Service Executive during 2005 had apparently been used on day-to-day current spending, he has received an explanation from the Health Service Executive or the Department of Health and Children as to the way in which this major breach of financial procedures happened; the steps being taken to ensure that such a breach does not occur again; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
