This will be the Minister's last health questions before the summer recess. It would be appropriate for him to outline in detail the precarious financial position in which the HSE finds itself again where we are talking about a potential budget deficit of over €500 million, the warnings by officials from the HSE, and the concerns and the impact of this on front-line delivery of services. The Minister might outline in detail the actions he intends to take to address this spiralling problem for the HSE and the provision of funding.
