Troika unhappyat health budget overruns

The troika has ended its final review of the economy but wants the Government to address the repeated budget overruns in the health service.

The review, the 10th of its kind, also ended without reaching agreement on the politically loaded issue of a precautionary credit line ahead of the State’s departure from the bailout programme in December.

Meanwhile, it is expected the troika will ask the Government to examine ways to create an integrated financial system in the health service which will replace the current situation of duplicate accounting and financial supports in various areas.
