Appropriation Bill, 2002 [Certified Money Bill]: Second and Subsequent Stages.

 

Tackling current expenditure will be more difficult because of the vested interests in many areas. One would have imagined five years ago that a spending increase of 120% on health would have produced an obviously improved service, but we must concede that has not been the case. In many instances, people do not see any significant improvement, certainly nothing commensurate with the expenditure increase. We have a good health service but significant waste.
