Details of regional spending and savings in four of the Health Service Executive’s main service areas are due to be published.

The HSE areas are Dublin Mid-Leinster, Dublin North East, South and West.

Last month the HSE published its national service plan, which detailed how it will spend its budget of €13.4bn and make savings of over €721m.

The plan detailed extra cuts in primary care and staff numbers, as well as provision for more medical cards and extra funds for the cost of cancer drugs.
