I established the Expert Group on Resource Allocation and Financing in the Health Sector under the chairmanship of Professor Frances Ruane, Director, ESRI in April last year to examine how the existing system of resource allocation within the Irish public health service can be improved to support better the aims of the health reform programme. The Group was asked to report to me and the Minister for Finance in April 2010. The Expert Group has made considerable progress on this complex issue and intends to produce a robust, evidence-based report that will inform public policy on health resourcing, with a particular emphasis on actions in the short and medium term. The Chair has recently informed me that the Group is close to finalising the report and expects to present it to me by the end of June.

Question No. 100 answered with Question No. 73.
