I propose to take Questions Nos. 900, 901 and 922 together.
The Deputy will be aware that there are many services that the HSE needs to support each year from within its Oireachtas approved Budget. Please note that the level of funding available to each Government Department is being considered as part of the national estimates and budgetary process for 2026, which is currently underway.
Pending completion of this process, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment further on any proposals at this stage.
