(2) The standard expenditure for the purposes of the Act for a health authority established by this Act shall be the aggregate of the standard expenditures for those purposes of the local authorities who appoint members of the health authority, with the addition, in the case of the Dublin Health Authority, of the proportion chargeable to the council of the county of Wicklow of the net health expenditure of the Grangegorman Mental Hospital Board in respect of the standard year. | ||
(3) In respect of each local financial year after that in which the Dublin Health Authority is established, the standard expenditure for the purposes of the Act for the council of the county of Wicklow shall be reduced by an amount equal to the proportion chargeable to that council of the net health expenditure of the Grangegorman Mental Hospital Board in respect of the standard year. | ||
(4) A health authority established by this Act shall, in respect of the local financial year in which they are established, be a joint authority within the meaning of and for the purposes of the Act, but shall not be such a joint authority in respect of any subsequent local financial year. | ||

(6) A health authority established by this Act shall make every payment which— | ||
(a) is in respect of any local financial year after that in which that health authority are established, | ||
