I propose to take Questions Nos. 777 and 787 together.

In any given year there is potential for time-related savings in relation to specific funding provisions, due to delays in recruiting staff and other associated issues. Such savings are once-off in nature, as it is purely a timing issue. At this stage, it is too early to quantify any such potential savings in the budget of my Department or the Health Service Executive.

Question No. 778 answered with Question No. 708.
