172. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health when he expects the Health Service Executive's service plan for 2013 to be made public [57151/12]
View answerThe HSE is required by law to submit a Service Plan within 21 days of publication of the Estimates and the Minister has a further 21 days within which to approve the Plan or seek to have it amended. It would be the Minister’s intention to approve a Service Plan as soon as possible in order to ensure there is a strong budgetary focus in place and that the rate of spending in the HSE is managed.
