Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Budget 2024 Expenditure Ceiling and Resource Allocation for the Department of Health and HSE: Discussion (14 Nov 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I am not talking about financial risk. I appreciate that is where Mr. Moloney wants to take me. I am not talking about that.

Pearse Doherty: I am reading from the ESRI report from 2020, so there are updated figures. It is a study in regard to Ireland's healthcare in international terms. I am sure Mr. Moloney is familiar with this, or maybe his colleague is. It says Ireland's total healthcare expenditure as a share of national income ranks first in the EU 15.
