Vol. 408 No. 6
81 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health the way expenditure in the first three months of 1991 compares with the budgeted spending provided for in his Department's allocation in each health board; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
My Department will be discussing with each health board in the near future the expenditure figures relating to the first quarter of this year. Until those discussions are held and the figures are examined in detail by the boards and the Department, it will not be possible to indicate in a definitive way what the spending pattern has been for the first three months of 1991.
