asked the Minister for Health if he will state in respect of each of the last four years the income and expenditure of the Hospitals Trust Fund; the present balance in the Fund; and the manner in which it is invested.
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Hospitals Trust Fund.
As the information is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report. Following is the statement:-

4,763,191 |
5,276,916 |
1968-69 |
3,895,605 |
6,905,318 |
Balance in the Hospitals Trust Fund on the 14th October, 1969 (none of which is invested): £155,191.
Can the Minister say what fees are paid to the directors and what amounts are paid to a number of individuals associated with the Trust?
That seems to be a separate question.
I am sure it is embodied in the report which the Minister is circulating.
It is a completely separate question and I cannot give the information.
