I propose to take Questions Nos. 777 and 787 together.

In any given year there is potential for time-related savings in relation to specific funding provisions, due to delays in recruiting staff and other associated issues. Such savings are once-off in nature, as it is purely a timing issue. At this stage, it is too early to quantify any such potential savings in the budget of my Department or the Health Service Executive.
