That is fine. I fully accept the clarification. What it means is that this is a matter for the Estimates process and the service plan. As the Senator is aware, the HSE is running over budget under almost all headings. The Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, and I are working very hard to secure a realistic budget for next year so that in the 21 days after the budget we can develop a service plan which will result in improved services across the board.
