839. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Health if the HSE has written to him or his officials regarding the lack of funding to meet the extra demand in health services particularly in acute hospital services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35563/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is in regular communication and continues to work closely with the HSE regarding delivery of the National Service Plan 2017, and planning for 2018. The level of funding available for my Department in 2018 will be considered as part of the national Estimates campaign, and pending completion of this process it is not appropriate for me to comment further at this stage.
