Based on data received from the HSE, expenditure on overtime amounted to approximately €350 million in 2008. Overtime is paid in the health service to allow additional work to be done, including the provision of clinical services, outside of core contracted hours. The Government will be considering a number of options in framing public expenditure projections for 2010.
