Select Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised)
(25 Jun 2025)

David Cullinane: That figure is a very small amount of the overall budget. We are talking about efficiency and savings. When I look at the figure of €633 million, it is significant in its own right but less so in the context of the overall budget, and it is over two years rather than one year. Is it the Minister's view that those targets are sufficient or would she be looking to increase those targets?
