My question is about the HSE budget for this year. My understanding is that we have quarter 1 figures showing an overspend. I would like to know how much the overspend is for the first three months of the year and also for the second three months, to the end of June. I imagine the Minister's officials and-or the HSE are projecting out what the full-year overspend is likely to be. What is the projection at this stage? Is the Minister in line with the new director general of the HSE saying that the budget will be brought in or does he foresee himself coming back to the House to seek a supplementary budget later this year?
