Seamus Kirk

Ceist:

105 Mr. Kirk asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount of his Department's budget expenditure in each of the years from 1996 to 1999; the projected expenditure for 2000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6389/00]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The gross amounts available to my Department for the years requested were as follows:

	Non Capital	Capital	Total
	£000	£000	£000
1996	2,351,488	118,781	2,470,269
1997	2,733,522	130,645	2,864,167
1998	3,101,681	146,670	3,248,351
1999	3,623,146	181,686	3,804,832

The equivalent figures for 2000 are currently being finalised and will be published in the Revised Estimates for Public Services for 2000, which will be available within the very near future. I will forward these figures to the Deputy when they become available.
