Information pertaining to former Health Board structures is not available as the Health Service Executive is now configured from an operational basis into four distinct Regions. Each Region deals primarily with acute and community services. Whilst these regions generally follow old Health Board geographical areas, corporate functions such as Human Resources and Finance, and other national services are now administered centrally, and therefore comparison with the previous Health Board expenditure patterns in not appropriate.
The information regarding expenditure broken down by the new regional structure is set out in the following table.
