Mr. Nicholas Jermyn:
I must stress that I have a job to carry out as the chief executive of St. Vincent's University Hospital as part of my group role. I must stress that role incorporates the management of the university hospital and all that goes with that and the public sector. The attachment or appendices give a list of services and work that I carry out. As the Deputy will know, I am working for the university hospital as well as for the group. It is all one entity. The key here is that the university hospital is linked to many other hospitals in the region, as the Deputy will know. I am involved in St. Columcille's Hospital and Holles Street hospital in that role. With that role and the new integration and reorganisation, a large part of what I do is that integrational link. It is about the delivery of the quality of care. As the Deputy said, the care delivered by people in St. Vincent's University Hospital and by the associated hospitals is second to none.
