Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Micheál Martin raised valid questions. We will have a debate on the health plan. The budget comes to €14.6 billion. Obviously, the Minister of State, Deputy Helen McEntee, wants to put in place the strategy by which moneys can be ring-fenced and spent in health in 2017. It will not be €35 million in 2016, obviously. She is spending what she can this year and then put in place the strategy by which it can be ring-fenced and spent in 2017.
