Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Government decides on the basis of the moneys available to it to allocate to Departments. This year, 2017, more than ever before has been allocated to the Department of Health and the HSE to provide a range of services across a very broad spectrum for people all over the country. Parallel to that, we are working with some of the Ministers who were mentioned in respect of the mental health area, where money has been provided, and in respect of the prevention of illness, a healthier Ireland and a more conscious Ireland. These are all elements for all our people. More than ever before is being pumped into the health area now.
