Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not a question on legislation, but I am not sure whether the business plan was turned down because of shortage of money or because of its inadequacy. I remind Deputy Troy that €900 million extra was made available to the health budget for 2017, which now stands at €14.5 billion. This is an important element but it is a small sum in that context. I do not know the details of why the business plan was turned down. Obviously the HSE made its decision in that regard. We can follow it up.
