- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) David Cullinane: The Minister should at least know, in the general ballpark, where that money came from.
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) David Cullinane: I am not talking about the €1.392 billion; it is separate from that. The Minister has to read his own opening statement. The €1.392 billion is that figure and if the Minister's official might just confirm if I am right, the opening statement goes on to say a further ask of €600 million for non-Covid-19 expenditure. Can I ask if the €600 million is separate from...
- Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) David Cullinane: I have to stop Mr. O'Grady there. This is just getting bizarre because the Minister says in his opening statement that the €1.39 billion is primarily made up of 85% or €1.181 billion for Covid-19 expenditure. It goes on to state, in the Minister's own words, there was "A further ask of €600 million for non-COVID-19 expenditure [in current] and €90 million for...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) David Cullinane: What I am putting to the Minister is that the actual figure, the actual additional overspend if he wants to use that expression, is €1.8 billion. It is very hard to make sense then of the figures, particularly when we have only had an hour to go through the document, which we actually could not do. The Minister is putting this to me and is telling me to read it. I have tried to read...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) David Cullinane: Going back to the €600 million, is any of that money that was earmarked for the additional staff we were not able to hire? In 2022, it was anticipated that 10,000 staff would be hired and we might have reached approximately 5,500. We are still approximately 300 beds shy of the 1,200 beds that are funded. All of that money was allocated and of course it was not spent, so does that...

David Cullinane: I am sorry, but I do not accept that. We have a very important Bill coming up, which we all want to get to, and there is going to be an extended time for that discussion, so I am not going to hold up the Minister of State or anybody else. I will press the amendment without calling for a vote.

David Cullinane: I thank the Minister for the briefing provided today by his officials. We had a number of conversations on this issue in recent days. I will start with an observation that I have stated privately to the Minister. It is also important that I put on the record that everybody wants to arrive at the same place. That position is genuinely held by everybody in this Chamber. We all know how...
