My Department is engaging in ongoing dialogue with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to the financial performance of the Health Service Executive year to date, including consideration of the implications for the projected outturn for the year.

These discussions are still progressing and until they are concluded it would not be appropriate for me to anticipate the outcome.
