I thank the Deputy for the question. The attached table sets out the cash expenditure for the health service for the 8 months to 31 August 2026 together with its related profile, monetary variance and percentage variance nationally.
Details of Income & Expenditure for the 8 months to August are not available yet from the HSE. This Income & Expenditure Report analyses the financial performance of the six regions.
The projected full forecast out-turn for the year is subject to on-going tripartite discussions between the HSE, the Department of Health and the Department of Public Expenditure that may materially impact on the quantum of any deficit for the full year, so these are currently not available.
