Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Róisín Shortall: This is not any way to do business. It is extremely disrespectful to members here. We cannot engage in debate on the Supplementary Estimate for €1.3 billion. It is a significant amount of additional money yet we have no detail on it. This 24-page document was circulated at 8.30 a.m. this morning. Most of us were commuting at that stage. I gather it came in some time late after...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Róisín Shortall: -----and was circulated this morning. It is extremely disrespectful. It also means that we cannot properly invigilate the figures. That is supposed to be our job here, to examine all of the figures and to consider them. We are not in a position to do that because of the failure of the Department to allow sufficient time for us to consider the briefing material. I would be very much...

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Róisín Shortall: Bearing in mind that we are facilitating the Minister this morning and that agreement was reached last Thursday, it is disappointing that this document came to us only this morning.

Vote 38 - Health (Supplementary) (30 Nov 2022) Róisín Shortall: Yes. A lot of the rest is, while interesting in its own right, not business for today, so the Minister has actually provided only pages 3 and 4 in respect of the Supplementary Estimate and a lot of questions arise from that because of the lack of detail.
