In reporting on expenditure to the end of August, the Health Service Executive (HSE) has continued to indicate some concerns regarding emerging trends in major acute hospitals and Demand Led Schemes. The management of expenditure against budget is a matter for the HSE and the Chief Executive has informed me that he is planning to manage the expenditure within the overall Vote.
