Simon Harris: No money to bail out HSE

There is no extra money to bail out the HSE despite its €100m overspend so far this year.

That is according to Health Minister Simon Harris, who said that no additional funding would be provided by the Government for any overspend by the HSE in delivering commitments set out in its National Service Plan.

He told the Oireachtas health committee that the HSE was taking steps to reduce the spending overrun.
