To ask the Minister for Health to provide an update on the significant underfunding of the HSE national service plan; the current projected deficit to year-end; the reason his Department did not address this matter when its implications were highlighted by the HSE at the start of 2023; how he will address this deficit up to the end of 2023 in a way which ensures service capacity, activity volumes and access times are not adversely impacted for patients and service users; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
