Early this year, following an interesting briefing from Fr. Seán Healy and Social Justice Ireland, the Committee on Budgetary Oversight identified the possibility of a serious discrepancy between voted health expenditure and what the HSE's national service plan was trying to achieve. That has turned out to be the case, with Supplementary Estimates required for the Departments of Health and Justice and Equality once again. The Minister was a member of the Government in 2015 when it effectively disestablished the HSE Vote by taking it back within the Department of Health. Since then, the Government has not been managing it.
