TABLE OF CONTENTS

GENERAL NOTE The principal purpose of the 2008 Revised Estimates Volume (REV) is to provide additional details and information in relation to the allocations made as part of the 2008 Budget Estimates which were contained in the Unified Budget of 5 December 2007. As a general principle, and in keeping with the largely technical nature of the 2008 REV, the majority of Vote totals, Current-Capital provisions, and Subhead allocations remain unchanged, except for the following:

• A reclassification from current to capital of most of the moneys transferred to Vote 32 (Transport) from the Local Government Fund for the purpose of funding Non-National Roads. This reclassification reflects more properly the nature of the expenditure that will arise in this context.

• Gross expenditure and/or Net Expenditure on some Votes has been adjusted to

reflect changes in the level of Appropriations-in-Aid as compared with expectations at Budget time.

• Some Subhead reallocations have taken place, without affecting overall Vote

totals, primarily where Vote structures are being reordered to bring them into line with the corresponding Departmental Statements of Strategy and Annual Output Statements.

Capital Carryover A sum of €126.119 million in capital savings from 2007 is available for spending in 2008 under the multi-annual capital envelopes carryover facility. These carryover amounts are provided for in Part I of the relevant Votes and are identified in Part II of the Votes concerned. The amounts involved will not be available for spending on the subheads identified in Part II until the Ministerial Order, required before 31st March 2008 under Section 91 of the Finance Act 2004, has been approved by the Dáil and made by the Minister for Finance.

21 February, 2008.

TABLE 5AVERAGE PUBLIC SERVICE NUMBERS UNDERPINNING EXCHEQUER PAY

The average public service employment figures included in this table are not fully compatible with the Exchequer pay and pension figures shown in Tables 3A and 4. The figures in Tables 3A and 4 may include some expenditure which is classified as pay but which has no corresponding public service numbers in the table above. In addition, pensions costs are included in some votes (such as Garda, Health and Children, Education and Science) whereas they are not included in Government Departments (all civil service pensions being covered in Vote 7). This distorts average figures derived and as a result the data in Tables 3A, 4 and 5 should not be used to derive average public service costs.

2005

Local Government Fund expenditure on non-national roads, which is included as Voted Expenditure of €136.9m on Vote 32 (Transport) in 2008, was paid directly out of Local Government Fund in previous years and so was not included as Voted Expenditure. However, the equivalent figures are included in the table above for comparison. The Non-Voted amounts for 2004-2007 respectively are €102.72m, €105.792m, €115.608m and €136.9m.

Prior to the establishment of the Health Service Executive (HSE) in 2005 various hospital and other charges, relating to the former Health Boards, that were previously collected and retained by the Boards did not impact on the Health & Children Vote. With effect from 1 January 2005, this income is recorded as appropriations-in-aid on the HSE Vote giving rise to a corresponding increase in gross voted expenditure. The 2004 equivalent would increase the gross outturn by approximately €480m .

HEALTH SERVICE EXECUTIVE

Estimate of the amount required in the year ending 31 December 2008 for the salaries and expenses of the Health Service Executive and certain other services administered by the Executive, including miscellaneous grants.

In order to improve accountability and transparency in the Health Service Executive in regard to the use of voted moneys a new vote structure along the following lines will be introduced for Vote 40 as soon as possible. The new vote structure is designed primarily to ensure that current expenditure will be counted for on the basis of the service programmes in the HSE's service plan rather than on a regional basis as at present. The HSE will be required as a matter of priority to make the necessary changes to their financial management systems to enable vote accounting to be introduced on this basis.
