In 2018 the Department of Health spent a total of €134,766.99 on 541 flights.
It is the policy of my Department to seek best value for money in terms of flight costs. Those travelling are consistently reminded to make arrangements as early as possible to secure the best available price. All travel is booked at economy/standard class unless there are specific circumstances requiring a different class of travel.
