Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 June 2012
76 Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the discussion he has had with the Department of Social Protection and the Department of Health in respect of the overruns in current expenditure in their Departments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30002/12]
View answerOfficials in my Department are in regular communication with line Departments with regard to monitoring current expenditure. Departments and Offices report on net current expenditure issues from the Exchequer immediately prior to the end of each month and these figures are monitored against the published Expenditure profiles. In addition, officials from my Department meet regularly with these Departments to hold joint financial performance management meetings to monitor financial progress.
