I agree 100%. That is certainly what we are trying to do in respect of the non-consultant hospital doctors.

I will have Brian McGrath's interim report tomorrow. The report will contain interim recommendations and timelines for their implementation. I will make an announcement in this regard tomorrow because it is important that we keep our doctors and nurses here. They are sought after the world over and when they leave this country they work in the finest institutions in the world and they rise to the top of them. We are not deluding ourselves when we say we have some of the brightest and the best in the world. That is why we should have the best health service but the reason we do not have the health service we should have is because it was allowed to evolve in a chaotic fashion. We are addressing that in a steady, considered and methodical manner.

Deputy Conway asked about the integrated approach and a black hole. She may have been alluding to the new directorates, which will give much greater clarity on the flow of money into different areas. Mr. Tom Byrne can address that issue in more detail.

The Minister for Justice and Equality will be introducing new legislation on legal costs at the beginning of next year. I have had discussions with him and the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs on the issue.
