The public expenditure Minister has dismissed the HSE's demands as "unrealistic", though it comes amid rising overcrowding in Irish hospitals, up 35 per cent at University Hospital Limerick last month.
Deputy McNamara is hopeful that increased government revenues will allow for services to be improved.
