During statements on health spending in the Dáil, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said HSE CEO Bernard Gloster was entitled to make comments about the health budget.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has conceded that there were some areas he “wanted to go further” on as part of Budget 2024.
“The total allocation in the budget is €2bn. About half of that is in recurring funding and about half that in non-recurring funding. Mr Donnelly also admitted that “some areas are not getting the same level of investment next year as they have over the past three years”. Following reports in one newspaper saying that Government ministers were angry with Mr Gloster’s public comments about the budget, Minister Donnelly said that he was “completely within his rights to speak” about the pressures facing the HSE.
