Vol. 415 No. 8
44 Mr. J. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health if he has assessed the impact on health service provision of the budget allocations made to health agencies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The 1992 letter of allocation to each health agency asks that budgets be drawn up within approved allocation and that matching service plans be agreed with my Department. Discussions are continuing on the details of these service plans and until they are completed I am not in a position to make any comment on their impact on service provision.
