371.

View answerMy Department is currently engaging in dialogue with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the HSE in relation to the Estimates process for Budget 2022. With regard to the allocation of funding for 2022, as the Deputy will appreciate, I cannot comment at this stage on the outcome of the Estimates process, or matters which will be the subject of national service planning in 2022.
