Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Almost entirely, the one-off income requirements are provided for. If the Deputy wishes to add €270 million to the €600 million and to the €280 million he can. We actually managed to have the one-off payments resolved this year. If one adds up the figures, they amount to more than €1 million. Elective surgery is cancelled more frequently than we would wish, but the cancellation rate is 1%. I pointed to the pre-budget submission from the Deputy's party which provides for an extra €380 million for health and, perhaps, knocking €100 million off that for the Lansdowne Road agreement. Is the Deputy telling me that in his party's pre-budget submission it provided inadequately for health, as the amount provided is pretty much the same as what we have provided?
