I thank an tAire for taking the question. Before I start, I also congratulate Deputy Troy on the new arrival. The fun starts now for him.

I raise this question in light of the fact that €708 million in funding has been allocated for existing levels of service in 2024. That is less than half the shortfall identified for 2023, and that is even before covering other pressures in 2024 as a carry-over and demographics and pay. I would like to know where Tipperary University Hospital fits into the terms of this and the impact on any new developments taking place there and the maintenance of existing levels of service.
