I understand that the Deputy is asking about expenditure incurred in 2010 and as my Department was formally established on 3rd June 2011 there was no expenditure in 2010. However, information on expenditure incurred in 2010 in areas that are now part of my Department will be included in the reply provided by the Minister for Health.
