Public Accounts Committee
Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances
3:50 pm
Mr. Barry O'Brien:
We regard the role as being so critical that we would advise they should take on the role on a full-time basis. Obviously, most consultants would want to keep their clinical competence and have access to clinical practice. We would facilitate them in that regard. However, they would, in the main, be involved in the overall management, governance, accountability, the management of resources and outcomes. That would be the principal role.
