CLÁR is a joint initiative between the Department of Community Rural and Gaelteacht affairs and the Health Service Executive (HSE). The Government recently announced it's intention to examine all current and capital expenditure as part of it's decision to introduce further measures to stabilise the public finances. The HSE have subsequently resubmitted both CLÁR and RAPID programmes for re-approval to the Department of Finance and are awaiting a response. As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
