To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 65 of 9 July 2015, if he will provide the information sought for June 2015, not April 2015 as provided in the reply; and if it is not the case that the information is available to him, given that his Department has provided information to the Department of Finance for the purposes of the June Exchequer returns, and that furthermore in Parliamentary Question No. 69 of 30 September 2014, he provided Dáil Éireann with an update as to the Health Service Executive's net current deficit against profile at the end of September 2014.

As the Deputy will be aware, the Vote of the Health Service Executive was disestablished with effect from 31 December, 2014. All funding for the Executive is now provided through the Vote of the Minister for Health – Vote 38. Vote returns at end June are of course available, but this only provides information on the cash grants provided to the HSE and does not provide detail on the drivers of expenditure; this information is available through the Performance Report, for which the April position is the latest available, as provided in Parliamentary Question Number 65 of 9 July.

In Vote terms, Vote 38 is €32m over profile at the end of June, with the HSE related subheads approximately €45m over profile and the Department of Health related subheads approximately €13m under profile.
