Prior to 2019, all Sláintecare related funding was provided from the core administrative spending subhead within the Department of Health, with staff costs being met by the core Department of Health payroll. Since Budget 2019, a separate subhead has been created for Sláintecare specific measures under the ‘Health Care Reform’ heading (subhead II. H in the Revised Estimates Volume of Vote 38). The following table details the spending and profile for Sláintecare under subhead II. H in Vote 38.

* The underspend was primarily as a result of timing-related issues in the establishment period of the Sláintecare Integration Fund and the staffing of the Sláintecare Programme Implementation Office.
** The spending in 2020 is currently under profile as of end-April, which is mainly due to timing issues. It is expected that spending will return to profile within 2020.
