Measures could be taken to get the Vote together. The conclusions in the PBO's report are damning of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's management of the health Vote. It seems that alignment of the national service plan and the Vote is impossible. The money that is voted and the plan's expenditure elements do not correspond. There is a lacuna, which the Minister should address on behalf of the people. Regardless of whether the health Vote needs to increase to €40 billion or whatever level is necessary, it should be accounted for to us properly.
