Seanad debates

Health Services: Motion.
I thank Senators for their contributions this evening. The Department of Finance presents Estimates every year to the Government. Debates take place on a bilateral basis between Departments. That has happened every year since time immemorial. The Department of Finance progressed issues this year in the context of existing levels of service. We received an envelope. It is interesting to note that of all the increases this year in all Departments across the public service, the Department of Health and Children received approximately two thirds of the full amount allocated. We got an extra 12% in addition to what we got last year.
