Professor Peadar Kirby:

What I say is that what we do is adopt the EULARINET triple C target, rather than bring in targets of our own. This shows less than the national leadership the NESC report calls for. I agree that it is not that there are no targets in the Bill, but the State does not choose to set its own targets in the Bill. The targets that are set are too distant in the future. We need more immediate targets to lead us, with any success, to meet these longer term targets.
