As the Deputy will be aware I established the Expert Group on Resource Allocation and Financing in the Health Sector in April 2009. The purpose of this Group was to examine how the existing structure of resource allocation within the Irish public health service can be improved to support better the aims of the health reform programme. The Report of the Expert Group will be presented to me on Friday 9th July and I intend bring it to Cabinet for its consideration in the Autumn. Until I have received the report I am unable to comment on the Group's findings.
