3764. Deputy Michael Cahill asked the Minister for Health to provide a list of all hospitals that ran over budget for the past three years to date; the amount by which each hospital overran its budget; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62750/26]

The Department monitors overall HSE expenditure against budget. The allocation of budgets to individual hospitals and monitoring their performance against budget is an operational matter for the HSE, therefore I have referred the Deputy's question to the HSE for direct response.
