I would appreciate that.

Since Mr. O'Brien has assumed his position, is there a skill set that must be further enhanced within the HSE in respect of financial management? I do not mean this as a policy question. When we are told about these legacy systems and the overrunning budgets, is the embargo on recruitment having a negative impact on the ability of the HSE to manage its budgets? There is a responsibility on this House to provide the resources needed to manage budgets but clearly budgets are not being managed. Is the embargo having an impact on the ability of the HSE to manage budgets?
