Funding to Acute Hospitals is provided on the basis that the HSE fully implement the revised HSE performance and accountability framework, as finalised by the HSE with the agreement of the Minister for Health and the Minister for Public Expenditure & Reform.
The revised framework includes monitoring and reporting at the level of accountability. Detailed revised budgets for 2016 are being prepared from the hospital level up following the allocation of additional funding from the €500m provided to the HSE in July in the Revised Estimates. This process will commit each hospital group CEO to deliver on the budgets they have prepared. The process for the delivery of the revised budgets is nearing completion. When the updated profiles are finalised and approved they will be made available as requested.
