Vol. 382 No. 2

Written Answers. - Health Service Budgeting.

46.

asked the Minister for Health if he has any plans to introduce clinical budgeting in hospitals, both voluntary and State-owned; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department is examining various management and budgeting techniques which are either in place or under development in other countries. The feasibility of adapting these techniques, and, indeed, developing our own for the Irish health services is under urgent review. I am fully committed to using whatever management strategies are appropriate to ensuring that optimum value is derived from the resources available.
