329. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Health if a letter of determination has been sent to the HSE outlining priorities and funding levels for 2024; if the details of this letter will be published; when the National Service Plan for 2024 is expected by the HSE; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51678/23]
View answerFollowing the announcement of the budget allocation for my Department, I will shortly be issuing a Letter of Determination to the HSE outlining my priorities and funding levels for 2024. This will be the basis on which the HSE will draw up its National Service Plan (NSP) for 2024. The HSE is required to prepare and submit an NSP within 21 days of receipt of the letter of determination. Once I have agreed and signed off on it, the NSP will be published in due course.
