Limerick East): While health boards have reported that there are particular pressures in certain services such as acute hospitals and child care, appropriate corrective action is being taken by the boards to ensure that the agreed service levels can be delivered within approved expenditure limits. My Department is monitoring the situation closely to ensure that there are no over-runs in 1996.
