The HSE has been given an extra €50 million euro to fund disability services and more support for older people.
It will have a budget of just over €17 billion for 2020 - a 6% increase on this year.
Among the measures are €70 million for the Fair Deal nursing home scheme and €3.5m for the extension of the Radiology Department at the Midlands Regional Hospital Mullingar.
HSE chief executive Paul Reid says there's still difficulties facing the service - and that restrictions on staff recruitment will remain in place for next year:
